Hello Andrew,
I had similar problems when getting Perl 5.8.4 / Apache / mod_perl to work.
It stems from the fact that OS X really is happier when you build a dynamic libperl
(in fact, thats the way the shipped version of Perl on OS X is)
So, the way I fixed this was to recompile Perl with -Duseshrlib and then I built
mod_perl as a DSO.
Since then its worked great. (Also, building a dynamic libperl fixed my DBD::mysql issues
as well).

Hello,
I need some help troubleshooting an 'Undefined symbols' error.
I'm trying to get Mason/mod_perl/Apache to install and work properly. Currently I am running Mac OS X 10.2.8.
I first installed Perl v5.8.4. (I still have the Perl 5.6 installation that comes from Apple.)
I installed Apache 1.3.31 and mod_perl 1.29, which installed sucessfully
and seem to work fine. (I explicitly used perl 5.8 to run Makefile.PL)
Next I installed HTML::Mason and dependancies using the CPAN module. When I started up the CPAN shell, I also explicitly used perl 5.8.
I then added the following to my httpd.conf file:
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler <FilesMatch "\.html$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlSetVar MasonDataDir "/usr/local/mason" PerlSetVar MasonCompRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents" PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </FilesMatch>
Alas, now when I try to start Apache, I recieve the 'Undefined symbols' error (see below).
I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
Thanks
Andrew
