I've mod_perl running on several machines (apache 1.x) Today I installed a new system with apache2 and ran into deep troubles and questions:
I installed perl-5.8.0, apache 2.0.43 and mod_perl 1.99_07 I preload Apache2 and use ModPerl::Registry: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so PerlModule Apache2 and for my perl-files: PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry As soon as I try to run a script under mod_perl that uses CGI.pm I get the problem: [Fri Nov 01 23:27:43 2002] [error] 9558: ModPerl::Registry: Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm line 161. Compilation failed in require at /home/htdocs/perl/testgoldfisch.cgi line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/htdocs/perl/testgoldfisch.cgi line 4. Now I was starting to look around and in fact I have Apache.pm and Apache2.pm on my system. Apache.pm is not in @INC (its in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI/Apache.pm where it came from perl-insallation) In @INC I only have Apache2.pm, which comes from the mod_perl Installation. Now I dont know whats going on. Maybe this both two modules have nothing in common but a similar name. Shall I extend my @INC so that Apache.pm is in it (where is best place to change @INC ?). If I use the Compat-mode the problem vanishes. Is the CGI-module incompatible with mod_perl2 ? If yes, is there any alternative that can be used without need to rewrite all our libraries that rely on CGI.pm ? thnx, peter -- mag. peter pilsl IT-Consulting tel: +43-699-1-3574035 fax: +43-699-4-3574035 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
