I didn't consider that route. > Your real libperl.so if any that you build mod_perl with lives under: > /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/ I built Perl with -Duseshrplib and found the library files in i686/CORE/ under the directory above. > Yes. And httpd should not be linked against libperl.so in that case. Right, this is starting to sink in. The dynamically vs. statically link stuff threw me for a loop but are starting to make sense. > I think you have more than one perl installed and that's why everything is > messed up. > > Having libperl.so in /usr/lib/ is a great reason for lots of obscure > problems, when you have one more perl installed elsewhere.

I'm afraid to move that one away for fear of making my system unstable. With Perl built to support dynamic linking, mod_perl installed fine and found the right libperl.so. > and what's: > > % which perl /usr/local/bin/perl Thanks, William -- Knowmad Services Inc. http://www.knowmad.com -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
