Well, here be a bug report I compiled Apache 2.0.35 with mod_perl 1.99 as a DSO. The server will start just fine with that.
I'm running on GNU/Linux with Perl 5.6.1. If I add this: PerlModule Apache2 PerlModule Apache::compat The server simply will not start. If I comment out all the 'use' statements, except for mod_perl and Symbol, from Apache/compat.pm, then the server starts. If I load all the modules I just commented out via PerlModule in the config file and I _don't_ load Apache::compat, the server starts. If I load all the modules I commented out and try to load Apache::compat (with those use statements still commented out), the server will not start. I also found a few tiny bugs in Apache::compat. - The read() call in send_fd_length needs to be CORE::read. - In the last elsif in size_string, the size variable is missing its dollar sign ($). -dave /*================== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==================*/
