FYI, I just discovered after much pain and suffering that the mod_perl test suite fails to run on OpenBSD 3.5 because it tries to open more than 64 files at once.
To duplicate, try this on your OpenBSD box: $ sudo ktrace -d /usr/local/apache2.0.50-modperl1.99_16/bin/httpd -d \ /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t -f /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/conf/httpd.conf -D APACHE2 -X [Wed Aug 25 09:49:40 2004] [info] 26 Apache:: modules loaded [Wed Aug 25 09:49:40 2004] [info] 7 APR:: modules loaded [Wed Aug 25 09:49:40 2004] [info] base server + 20 vhosts ready to run tests [Wed Aug 25 09:49:40 2004] [error] Can't locate TestFilter/in_str_consume.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/lib /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/Apache-Test/lib /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/response /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/protocol /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/preconnection /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/hooks /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/filter /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/htdocs/testdirective/main /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/htdocs/testdirective/perlmodule-vh /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/ /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/lib/perl /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/blib/lib /export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/blib/arch /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl) at (eval 65) line 3.\n [Wed Aug 25 09:49:40 2004] [error] Can't load Perl module TestFilter::in_str_consume for server localhost.orslut.com:8529, exiting... --- Perl can't load TestFilter/in_str_consume.pm because it can't open the file -- as evidenced in the ktrace dump: 16641 httpd NAMI "/export/src/mod_perl-1.99_16/t/lib/TestFilter/in_str_consume.pmc" 16641 httpd RET stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 16641 httpd CALL open(0x3cdae100,0,0) 16641 httpd RET open -1 errno 24 Too many open files This problem can be resolved by increasing the open file limit to 128: $ ulimit -n 128 I hope this helps someone down the road!
