Hey Sorry - it took 30 mins to receive the confirmation (wasn't sure if it went through successfully the 1st time)...
Anyway, I don't have a BUG to report - all I want to know is, is it SAVE to run non-LFS Apache with LFS Perl using mod_perl LFS. It works...sure...but I'm not sure what the outcome will be if I deploy this solution into our production environment. Intermittent Segmentation Faults? Again...sorry for the 'impatience' but I need to make a decision today if we're to go ahead with this solution...

You have to send a complete problem report as explained here, including a core dump's back trace: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/help.html#How_to_Report_Problems > Here is our mod_perl build script: > > ... # run the following from the mod_perl source directory > $perl_base/bin/perl Makefile.PL \ INSTALLDIRS=perl PREFIX=$prefix \ > USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=$apache_base/bin/apxs \ EVERYTHING=1 ... __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com Visit our website at http://www.ubs.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
