Apache::Request is for mod_perl 1.x. The mod_perl 2 development series had some API changes right before 2.0 was released. HTML::Mason will only work with 1.999022 and later. My impression is that the mod_perl 1.9916 can't be used with Mason. Most modules support mod_perl1 and mod_perl2 but not the development ones. For RHEL4, your choices are to a) build mod_perl2 (and maybe Apache) manualy, b) build mod_perl2 RPMs, c) upgrade to RHEL5 which has same mod_perl2 and perl modules. For building your one modules, I would suggest taking the ones from RHEL5. My impression is that they can be built on RHEL4. I have also heard about using the centosplus repository which build recent perl, httpd, and mod_perl2 packages for Centos 4. Unless you have something else that keeps you back, upgrading to RHEL5 is easiest option. - Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
