Help ! (please)
To make a long story short, I created an Apache/mod_perl module for AAA,
which after major help from Torsten Foertsch now works fine... on one
system, but not on another relatively similar one. The module is called
AUTH::StarLogCookie.
the critical line is line 419 of the module, which says :
$r->set_handlers(PerlFixupHandler => \{$_[0]->handler('modperl')});
On one system, this works fine, but on the other one it brings this
error in the Apache log :
[Tue Oct 14 18:50:26 2008] [error] [client 84.158.163.207] Can't locate
object method "handler" via package "AUTH::StarLogCookie" at
/usr/local/lib/apache2/perllib/AUTH/StarLogCookie.pm line 419.\n
The system where it works fine is this one :
ok-system (Intel-based) :
[Tue Oct 14 16:58:47 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) DAV/2
SVN/1.4.2 mod_jk/1.2.18 PHP/4.4.4-8+etch4 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c
mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations
and the one where it brings the error is this one :
bad-system (Apple PPC-based) :
[Tue Oct 14 18:59:43 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2
mod_jk/1.2.26 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 configured -- resuming normal
operations
There is a difference between the versions of Apache, perl and mod_perl,
so my question is : can this problem be attributed to these version
differences ?
The funny thing is, the way I understand that code above is to mean :
"take a reference to the piece of code between the curly brackets, and
pass that code reference as the 2d argument to $r->set_handlers()".
But the error message seems to indicate that perl is actually trying to
execute "$_[0]->handler()" at that point, no ?
Thanks.
