Hi AxKittens,
We experienced the same behaviour as described in http://maclux-rz.uibk.ac.at/maillists/axkit-users/msg05515.shtml at a Box running Oracle's IAS. The Perl distribution bundled with IAS is compiled with large file support enabled, whereas the IAS Apache has no large file support. mod_perl's Makefile.PL sets its $PERL_USELARGEFILES to 0 in that case, regadless of the value in Perl's Config.pm. The behaviour of AxKit's Makefile.pl is buggy there. It checks for mod_perl's PERL_USELARGEFILES config value and tries to strip the large file support in the CCFLAGS. It can only succeed stripping them, if users explicitly define the CCFLAGS as Makefile.PL arguments however. So usually, even if mod_perl has long file support disabled, AxKit will compile with long file support enabled for long file support configured Perl installations. The resulting behaviour is the "Unexpected per_dir_config = NULL" bug. The attached patch for Makefile.PL will fix this - If mod_perl is configured with large file support disabled, it will compile AxKit that way regardless of the Perl config. Still this is no guarantee that everyhting will work. Recommended is the long file support synchronization between Perl, Apache and all mod_perl modules. AxKit's Makefile.PL could print out a warning about this if it discovers different long file support settings. Similar to the one which used to be given from mod_perl's Makefile.PL uselargefiles_check() function:
... ~ $PERL_USELARGEFILES=0; #just do it since ~ return; #nobody seems to listen to the warning below
~ phat_warn(<<EOF); Your Perl is uselargefiles enabled, but Apache is not, suggestions: ~ *) Rebuild mod_perl with Makefile.PL PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 ~ *) Rebuild Apache with CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE - -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" ~ *) Rebuild Perl with Configure -Uuselargefiles ~ *) Let mod_perl build Apache (USE_DSO=1 instead of USE_APXS=1) EOF ...
