I'm posting this so others may benefit from the clearing up of the confusion...
Here's the error msg from my Apache log:
-----><8-----
[Fri Oct 03 10:53:24 2003] [error] 1592: ModPerl::Registry: [Fri Oct
3 10:53:24 2003] -e: Can't find string terminator '"' anywhere before
EOF at (eval 75) line 1.
(in cleanup) could not flush: Couldn't acquire lock on id ''. Lock
status: at C:/Perl/site/lib/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 184
-----><8-----
I was playing with a package to create MySQL tables, and the 'sessions' table created
was not precisely as expected by CGI::Session.
So, when CGI::Session::MySQL tries and fails to acquire a lock - at line 34 of the
latter module - the error msg at line 36 is emitted. Lines 34 .. 38 look like:
-----><8-----
my $lck_status = $dbh->selectrow_array(qq|SELECT GET_LOCK("$sid", 10)|);
unless ( $lck_status == 1 ) {
$self->error("Couldn't acquire lock on id '$sid'. Lock status: $lck_status");
return undef;
}
-----><8-----
The failure to acquire the lock leads to the inappropriate ModPerl::RegistryCooker
error.
