Hi, I have recently developed a project in Perl and it works great but it works pretty slow because of forking. I've used mod_perl in the past, and have also compiled mod_perl C and Perl modules myself on my local box. This is the first time I'm trying to use mod_perl in a production environment and I'm very frustrated! I removed mod_php support from my server when I read on cpanel info that mod_php has issues with mod_perl but no avail!
It compiles and it runs great but for no reason it all the scripts randomly gives a 500 error! I was using XML::Simple so I realized I might have some unclosed file handles which cause a 500 after several hits. This is what I found in the logs: [error] Couldn't create file parser context for file "/home/.../xml/Test.xml": No such file or directory at /usr/../LibXML.pm line 427.\n at /usr/../LibXML/SAX.pm line 63\nCompilation failed in require a ... The XML file exists and it it works fine on the first few runs. I am doing a simple XMLin() call to generate the hashref structure and thats it! I tweaked my script to use IO::File to open the xml file and then passed the handle to XMLin(), I haven't received that 500 error for last 20 hits or so (it might just pop up again anytime!). The only difference is that I'm using IO::File now and after XMLin(), I'm assigning 'undef' to it. There's just one more problem. I am now getting occassional 200 OK message with this in the error log: [error] PerlRun: `Undefined subroutine &Apache::ROOTwww_2..._2ecom::testmod::testmod_search_2epl::GetMakes called at /home/.../testmod_search.pl line 19.\n' You hit refresh and it works great! Sometimes I get that 200 OK error consecutively for 4-5 times and then it works. I've tried PerlFreshRestart On/Off both and I've also tried using both Apache::Registry and Apache::PerlRun. Can somebody give some pointers? What about that XML::Simple's XMLin() call? Should I report that?
