Re: Loading Win32::OLE in a modperl package

[Lionel MARTIN]

Hi again,

I tried our code, using as well this directive in my httpd.conf file:
PerlResponseHandler MyPackage

To make your handler work as the main Response Handler.

Moreover I had to alter your code to make it work, adding a:

use Apache2::RequestRec;

because otherwise, the content_type method is not defined.

And it worked perfectly (returning 'hello';)

#******************************************
package MyPackage;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Apache2::RequestRec;

sub handler
{
   my $r = shift;
  
   $r->content_type('text/plain');
   print 'hello';
  
   return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

1;
#******************************************

For your information, I am using:
Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8

perl and MP are ActiveState builds.
And I downloaded the Win32 binary from the Apache httpd website.

Lionel.

Thanks Lionel,

I'm running Apache2.2 + Perl5.88.

Try this piece of code:

package MyPackage;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

sub handler
{
   my $r = shift;
  
   $r->content_type('text/plain');
   print 'hello';
  
   return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

1;

Basically,

Doing, in test.pl, run by ModPel::Registry, something like:

use Win32::OLE;
print 'Hello';

Works prefectly...

Which versions (Apache, MP and Perl) are you running?

Hi all,

I wonder if I am alone in experiencing this. Simply put: putting 'use 
Win32::OLE' in my modperl package will cause the Apache to fault. It 
basically can't start at all.
A window will pop up complaining about 'Apache HTTP Server has 
encountered a problem and needs to close'. No entry into the error log.

Does anyone know if this can be worked around?
