I am having a problem building mod_perl with the new perl 5.8.0. This does not
occur with perl 5.6.1. (All DSO, BTW)
I build using the CPAN module, with a .makepl_args.mod_perl file in my $HOME
dir. This has worked just fine for years, through multiple versions of perl,
mod_perl, Apache, and Solaris.
Now, when the "make test" of mod_perl is run, I see this:
internal/http-get.....Internal Server Error
internal/http-get.....dubious
Test returned status 29 (wstat 7424, 0x1d00)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-16
Failed 16/16 tests, 0.00% okay
internal/http-post....Internal Server Error
internal/http-post....dubious
Test returned status 29 (wstat 7424, 0x1d00)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-7
Failed 7/7 tests, 0.00% okay
All other tests pass just fine,
And in the error_log, I see these: (besides the 'expected' errors)

This is with perl 5.8.0, mod_perl 1.27, Apache 1.26, and Solaris 8. I build all
this from source, (except Solaris!!:), using gcc 2.95. Apache is compiled with
these options passed to Configure by the .makepl_args.mod_perl file: ( as well
as some site-specific options, like --prefix=, etc)
--enable-module=all --enable-shared=max --disable-module=example
--disable-module=auth_db --verbose --server-uid=httpd --server-gid=www
(the auth_db module will not build with Berkeley DB 4.x, which is what I have to
use for other apps on the same machine. Fortunately, I do not use that module,
so I don't care. :)
