1. Problem Description:
perl-script handler fails with Apache 2.2.6 on Windows
due to changes in stdin/stdout/stderr handles in mpm_winnt
Problem occurs with mod_perl 2.0.3 or with
current (9/14/2007) SVN trunk.
I noticed the same problem with Apache 2.0.61.
This problem can be avoided if \server\mpm\winnt\mpm_winnt.c
from Apache 2.2.4 is used - even with APR 1.2.11.
Note that server\log.c line 411 also needs to be changed to
work with this older mpm_winnt.
I would like to try this but since I am not a C programmer, can you say
what the changed line in log.c should look like?
And is there a similar fix for 2.0.61? I would prefer to stay with the
2.0.x branch for the time being.

The change I made in 2.2.6 was to line 411 in server\log.c
--------------------------------------
CHANGED:
rv = apr_file_dup2(stderr_log, s_main->error_log, stderr_p);
TO:
if (stderr_log)
rv = apr_file_dup2(stderr_log, s_main->error_log, stderr_p);
else
rv = apr_file_dup(&stderr_log, s_main->error_log, stderr_p);
--------------------------------------
Note the '&' character before 'stderr_log' in the call to apr_file_dup.
This differs from the call to apr_file_dup2, and it's easy to miss.
The line to change in server\log.c for version 2.0.61 is line 413.
You must also replace server\mpm\winnt\mpm_winnt.c with the one from
Apache 2.0.59. I haven't tried this with Apache 2.0 and AFAIK nobody
else has, so please test carefully.
Also note that this reverses the changes which improved piped logging
for 2.2.6 (2.0.61).
