Thanks Helmut.
My patch is similar to Maurice's, except that his allows for
$mod_perl::VERSION to be an empty string. In my case it has been
assigned the value 1.30. Maurice's patch would just use this
value. So in my case I ignore $mod_perl::VERSION altogether and use
$ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION}.
Maybe worth noting that, I think, $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} is the API
version rather than the mod_perl version? So I'd expect to see a value
2 rather than 2.0.3 or whatever. That means it's not strictly
interchangeable with $mod_perl::VERSION, but the distinction is pretty
much immaterial to Maurice's and my own patch, at least at the moment.

Hi Tim,
(like i postet Tidal 2 months ago on this list)
you might try a patch from Maurice Yarrow:
see

(approx. bottom quarter of the page)

[First a quick hello. We (http://edina.ac.uk/) have been using
Apache::ASP for a few years, but you haven't heard much from us as
it's worked pretty well!]
For the first time I've built apache2 (apache 2.2.4, mod_perl 2.0.3)
for use with ASP (2.59). The build and configuration went fine.
The web server started up and was fine until the first time I tried
to access an ASP application.
Can't locate object method request via package Apache at
[...]/perl5/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0//Apache/ASP.pm line 165.
...and that line is...
my $rtest = $ModPerl2 ? Apache2::RequestUtil-request() :
Apache-request();
It's calling Apache-request when should be calling
Apache2::RequestUtil-request (it's mod_perl version 2.0.3).So
it's the $ModPerl2 flag. Line 66 of ASP.pm initialized it:
$ModPerl2 = ($mod_perl::VERSION = 1.99);
Now it turns out $mod_perl::VERSION is 1.30. There's an easy
workaround using $ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION}
$ModPerl2 = ($ENV{MOD_PERL_API_VERSION} = 2);
I see this has occurred before, though the error reported was
different, and also in that case $mod_perl::VERSION was undefined
rather than having the wrong value.See:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/apache-asp/message/2136
On one hand the workaround is OK, and I'm not keen to guddle about in
the mod_perl code. On the other hand, I'm not really happy just
ignoring the fact that $mod_perl::VERSION is wrong...
Anyone know the cause and/or better fix? tim
