Hi, you have heard this before haven't you? Well $SUBJ definitely doesn't work under Linux, MP 2.0.1, Apache 2.0.55, Perl 5.8.7. All self-compiled.
Here's my analysis. -Mlib and -I *outside* of <virtualhost> work well. (but of course fill @inc) I suspect -Mlib would work well if I could set the "PerlOptions +Parent" thing. This - unfortunately - is not possible, as PerlOption `Parent' requires an ithreads enabled Perl which I do not have. (Performance reasons). Now is there any chance to get this working? It seems this problem is popping up from time to time here and elsewhere, but the majority of mod_perl users seems to be fine with it or has not been bitten (yet). My solution up to now was to have the -Mlib outside of <virtualhost> but today I have been bitten badly by this and it is no longer an option. IF +Parent is mandatory, thus an ithreads enabled Perl, then that a) is bad, because it gives me a 20% performance penalty b) should be mentioned in the docs where PerlSwitches henceforth should not be mentioned "context-free" http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlSwitches_ Richard Addendum: # perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 7) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.13-15-default, archname=i686-linux uname='linux sol 2.6.13-15-default #1 tue sep 13 14:56:15 utc 2005 i686 i686 i386 gnulinux ' config_args='-Doptimize=-O3 -march=pentium4 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -ftree-vectorize -Duseshrplib -des' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='cc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O3 -march=pentium4 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -ftree-vectorize', cppflags='-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include' ccversion='', gccversion='4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=4, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib libs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc perllibs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc libc=/lib/libc-2.3.5.so, so=so, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl.so gnulibc_version='2.3.5' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux/CORE' cccdlflags='-fpic', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES Built under linux Compiled at Dec 1 2005 13:29:32 @INC: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
