I'm seeing some strange behaviour with modperl, it appears to be truncating
the module code for certain files. Firstly, the code runs fine under CGI and
using a similar commandline setup. Next, there's a apache/conf/startup.pl
script which loads all the expected modules at startup, and the library files
are all their via a manual (commandline) run. Everything appears ok when
apache starts up.
[notice] Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 configured -- resuming normal
operations
Again, under 'normal' cgi usage there are no problems, however, as soon as a
page is requested from the server, a log file entry of the form:
[error] Error executing run mode 'display': Can't locate object method
"page" via package "Class::CGI::Welcome" at /classes/Class/CGI/Welcome.pm
line 34.\n at (eval 1361)
[/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/Apache/Registry.pm:184]
line 5\n
Now, the Class::CGI::Welcome module is loaded. I can even see the correct and
up to date code entry under @{main::_<$pathtowelcomedotpm}, _but_, the code
simply stops after 20 lines, so that the page() method is (clearly because
it's not there) not found. What I mean is that the first 20 lines of the
module can be seen, and the rest appears to have been inconveniently and
completely truncated for some unknown reason.
Has anyone seen this before? Am I being remarkably slow here? Any helpful
hints appreciated.
