Re: Segfault with Apache::Request->param method

[Chris Brown]

I found the problem actually. My common module has an AUTOLOAD that allows me to say $common->foo instead of $common->{foo}. I pass my Apache::Request ($apr) object around in this common object, retreiving $apr by calling $common->apr and then calling param() causes the crash. I guess the return values of these AUTOLOADed functions are cached? Anyway, using $common->{apr} made it work. Thanks for the response :) Chris Sam Tregar wrote: On Thu, 2 Dec 2004, Chris Brown wrote: Right now I'm running Apache 1.3.31 with mod_perl 1.29. Perl is 5.8.3 on Fedora FC1 Well, I don't know anything about your specific problem but judging by the lack of responses neither does anyone else. So here's what I'd do: - Download the latest Perl, 5.8.6. - Compile it without thread support. Thread support is still pretty rough and it slows down your Perl anyway. - Re-compile Apache/mod_perl. Make sure you've got mod_perl compiled in static, not loaded as a DSO. DSO and mod_perl are famous for seg-faulting. - Recompile Apache::Registry and any other non pure-Perl modules you might be using. - Say your prayers and give it a try! -sam -- Chris Brown System Administrator Wavetex Inc. 903-597-7566 http://wavetex.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
