RE: Apache installation not accepting perl-script Handler

[Gareth Kirwan]

BTW - The script looks like this:

 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

 

use strict;
use Apache;

 

print "Content-Type: text/html";

 

my $r = Apache->request;

 

1;

 

and the error looks like this:

 

Can't locate object method "request" via package "Apache" at /u/virtual/devel.*****.com/perl-
bin/Inslink.pl line 8.
[Thu Aug 21 10:31:07 2003] [error] [client 192.168.234.85] Premature end of script headers: /u/virtu
al/devel.*****.com/perl-bin/Inslink.pl

 

Notice it didn't fail  on loading the Apache module, just on calling the request method.

 

Cheers

Subject: Apache installation not accepting perl-script Handler

I have a mod perl installation, but it won't accept a perl-script handler.

In a Location directive I set the handler to perl-script. It fails to execute the test file properly.

I set it to cgi-script and it executes the file fine ( though I get complaints about doing Apache->request aftter loading the Apache module )

 

I have perl-status running on the server, and it returns fine:

Embedded Perl version v5.8.0 for Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6h

 

The loaded modules section shows Apache and Apache::Request to be loaded.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks
