My mod_perl appears to cause a segmentation fault in my Apache. 'httpd -X' simply gives 'Segmentation Fault' and my server does not start. I am using Apache 2.2.22, mod_perl 2.0.5, CentOS 5.7 x86_64. I built mod_perl and Apache together from source with the following command: perl5.12.4 Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.2.22 MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--with-mpm=prefork --enable-rewrite" What I have tried so far: Point httpd.conf to my Catalyst application. Result: Apache dies with 'Segmentation fault'. Point httpd.conf to a simple application created with catalyst.pl. Apache dies with 'Segmentation fault'. Point httpd.conf to a static site. Result: Apache starts fine and serves the website. I tried the following: gdb -c /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00002aaab0db0270 in ??
