You can also spend your time writing scripts, and generally "poking" around (without breaking anything
). Look for ways you can automate processes. If you have a spare PC or x86 server, install Linux (or even Solaris 10 x86) on it, and play around with Apache, BIND, Sendmail, Postfix, MySQL, Squid, etc - learning some of these applications will always benefit your resume.
Even now after working with UNIX for
many years, I'm still continually learning more. Just "playing" with my systems teaches me a great deal, and looking for new ways to solve already solved problems also is a great learning tool (i.e., can xyz be done smarter?). Perform security audits of your servers. Check for best-practices. Be curious!
Good luck!
Cheers

apache::session::lock::mysql
Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL(3pm)
NAME
Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL - Provides mutual exclusion using MySQL
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL;
my $locker = Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL->new();
$locker->acquire_read_lock($ref);
$locker->acquire_write_lock($ref);
$locker->release_read_lock($ref);
$locker->release_write_lock($ref);
$locker->release_all_locks($ref);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Session::Lock::MySQL fulfills the locking interface of Apache::Session. Mutual exclusion is achieved through the use of MySQL's
GET_LOCK and RELEASE_LOCK functions. MySQL does not support the notion of read and write locks, so this module only supports exclusive
locks. When you request a shared read lock, it is instead promoted to an exclusive write lock.
CONFIGURATION
The module must know how to connect to your MySQL database to acquire locks. You must provide a datasource name, a user name, and a
password. These options are passed in the usual Apache::Session style, and are very similar to the options for
Apache::Session::Store::MySQL. Example:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
LockDataSource => 'dbi:mysql:database',
LockUserName => 'database_user',
LockPassword => 'K00l'
};
Instead, you may pass in an already opened DBI handle to your database.
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::MySQL', $id, {
LockHandle => $dbh
};
