rml_perl question

[Boian Jordanov]

Hello,

first you have to check if your perl is thread safe. perl -V | grep  
THREAD will show.
And based on that info you can have 2 choices:

1) perl threads present
In this case you should use special subroutine called CLONE and  
initialize  socket here. This sub is called when rlm_perl is loaded  
from freeradius and new threads are created regarding the settings in  
your perl section.  So in-fact doing it in this way you will have  
socket per thread.
2) perl without threads
In this case you should put your socket initialization code inside  
the main body of your script.


Best Regards,
