I believe the recent problems getting mod_perl to work correctly I've been having are due to the module search order. CGI.pm that comes with Perl 5.8.1 is in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 while the CGI.pm installed by CGI-3.0 that is required by mod_perl-1.99.09 is installed in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1. I believe Perl is finding the original CGI.pm file first which is causing the "Apache.pm not found errors" that a few people have been reporting. Now, to my actual question: how do you change the module directory search order for Perl and mod_perl?
You can modify the @INC used by mod_perl through /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/apache2-mod_perl-startup.pl . Add a 'use lib' line similar to the one already present in the file. I'm not sure what version of perl you are using, but the CGI.pm module included in dev-lang/perl-5.8.1-r1 appears to be identical to the one included in dev-perl/CGI-3.00.
This particular system has perl-5.8.0-r12. It is primarily an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" system. I manually installed mod_perl-1.99.09 to use with Apache 2.0.47. I was able to workaround this problem by renaming /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm to CGI.pm.bak. I will keep your suggestion in mind if I ever need it, though. Thanks.
