I was trying to compile Apache/2.0.50 mod_perl/1.99_14 Perl/v5.6.2 under
HP-UX with HP's ANSI C compiler. Everything compiled fine, but during
make test, any test that tried to do a stat on __FILE__ would hang.
Running the same type of code under perl worked fine. I had previously
compiled mod_perl/1.99_14 with perl 5.8.2 and that worked fine. I had
some other priorities at work that prevented me from pursuing this, so I
am just getting back to it.
The problem turned out to be related to my perl install, but I don't
understand why. The thing that made it work was turning off large file
support in my perl 5.6.2 install. The reason that I don't understand is
that my perl 5.8.2 install had large file support enabled and the
mod_perl tested fine (which is to say test completes with errors without
hanging). I'm not even sure whether this is a problem with perl 5.6.2
or mod_perl. Any insight on this?

Aha! It says -M is not allowed. (stat __FILE__)[9]; is the same as
-M __FILE__

this perl_parse() thing is interesting. It writes to STDERR that
perl_parse()
has failed. BTW, any difference if you change your code to be:
my $file = "/tmp";
my $mtime = (stat $file)[9];
and:
my $file = __FILE__;
my $mtime = (stat $file)[9];
and:
-M __FILE__;
and
-M "/tmp";

It's possible. I've seen processes exiting when attaching to or
detaching from
them with strace. another way to check where the process is hanging is
to
attach to it with gdb (using -p $pid) and then run 'bt'.

What's important is that you compile perl, apache and mod_perl with the
same
compiler. Though I'm not familiar with HP's ANSI C compiler, so it's
possible
that it's a problem there.
