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.
Was it really the same under perl? e.g. mod_perl's test suite runs with -T. any difference if you add -T to your perl test/remove -T from mod_perl's test suite?
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?
I don't know. It's possible. I've checked your previous Apache config report and it doesn't seem to have LFS-support enabled. So may be that was the problem? Perl had it, but not Apache? Can you send a new report to see the up-to-date config?
