perl-5.8-win32-bin.tar.gz missing files

2002-07-19 Thread Alessandro Forghieri

Greetings.

I just installed the great perl-5.8-win32-bin.tar.gz package that Randy
Kobes mantains on uwinnipeg.

Two folders are missing from  site/lib/Win32Api :

Registry/cRegistry.pc
File/cFile.pc

This is an installation bug of libwin32 - the files are generated but not
installed, so they must be manually moved to their intended destinations (I
was bit by the same thing and mailed the package maintainer about a month
ago). These are not binary files, so they can(?) be copied from
a same version installation of win32 (I used what I had on a 5.6.1-33 and
they appear to work fine).


Not quite in the bug category, I observed that the shipped version of
File::Basename::fileparse now croaks on calling fileparse(undef). This seems
a bit radical to me (given that fileparse('') just shuts up) - carp would be
fair, but croak seems pretty darn inhospitable to me... 

Just my .02 

Cheers,
alf



Mention LoadFile in the mp2 docs?

2002-07-19 Thread Alessandro Forghieri

Greetings.

From:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#Enabling_mod_perl

[...]
Win32 users need to make sure that the path to the Perl binary (e.g.,
C:\Perl\bin) is in the PATH environment variable.
[...]

Is it not true that the directive LoadFile C:\foo\perl58.dll makes path
modifications unnecessary?

If so, it should perhaps be mentioned here. (With caveats, as situations
where Registry scripts are handled by one - LoadFil-ed - perl version and
CGI scriptse by another one - or not at all - would probably be
confusing...).

Cheers,
alf
