Hi,
I am trying to install mod_perl but can not get past the makefile stage.
I am using
perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2 MP_USE_DSO=1
and get this output
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV MP_AP_PREFIX = /usr/local/apache2 MP_USE_DSO = 1 Configuring Apache/2.0.48 mod_perl/1.99_11 Perl/v5.8.2 Usage: Socket::inet_ntoa(ip_address_sv) at Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm line 592.
Has anybody seen this problem before.
It fails here:
sub our_remote_addr {
my $self = shift;
my $name = $self->default_servername;
$remote_addr ||= Socket::inet_ntoa((gethostbyname($name))[-1]);
}I suppose (gethostbyname($name))[-1] returns undef and we assume that it'll always work.
Can you insert a debug print:

and show us what do you get?
Most likely the name comes from:
sub default_localhost {
my $localhost_addr = pack('C4', 127, 0, 0, 1);
gethostbyaddr($localhost_addr, Socket::AF_INET()) || 'localhost';
}which probably returns 'localhost' and then it fails to resolve it, if your /etc/hosts doesn't include:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
I'm pretty sure that once you add this line it'll work. Though let's debug the issue so we can croak with a proper suggestion if that happens to others.
