Hi,
I'm starting to play around with mod_perl, beginning with moving some
stuff under Apache Registry from cgi-bin.
One script makes use of the Msg.pm module I nicked from the O'Reilly
Advanced Perl Programming Book, to send a message from the web server to
another machine. This all worked fine under cgi-bin, but under the
Registry, the script fails to compile.
In the error_log is the message
[Thu Jun 1 13:51:55 2000] [error] [Thu Jun 1 13:51:55 2000]
getSNum.pl: [Thu Jun 1 13:51:55 2000] Msg.pm: [Thu Jun 1 13:51:55
2000] Msg.pm: Can't call method "new" without a package or object
reference at /usr/borg/lib/perl5/5.00503/Msg.pm line 11.
[Thu Jun 1 13:51:55 2000] getSNum.pl: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted
at /export/tools/apache/perl/getSNum.pl line 8.
The offending line in Msg.pm is
$rd_handles = IO::Select->new();
So being a good netizen I checked this list's archive's before posting
this, and found a similar query by Barry Hoggard Dec 99 re: IO::Select
usage in LWP. He fixed his problem by putting "" quotes round
IO::Select, but I tried that for me with no success.
Any ideas ???
environment:
Solaris 2.6
apache 1.3.9
mod_perl 1.21
perl 5.00503
cheers
