Doug,
Thanks for the insight, it all makes sense now. Therefore the patch I propose
to commit is:
Index: Apache.xs
===================================================================
RCS file: /home/cvs/modperl/src/modules/perl/Apache.xs,v
retrieving revision 1.98

- stat(r->filename, &r->finfo);
+ if ((laststatval = stat(r->filename, &r->finfo)) < 0) {
+ r->finfo.st_mode = 0;
+ }
#endif
OUTPUT:
I'm just double-checking 'cuz I don't want to break anything in
this sensitive area.
Thanks,
