Howdy all - I've been trying to install apache-1.3.20/mod_perl-1.26 along with a whole pile of custom modules I use. I have no less than eight other installations running this same configuration (although the reference platform is apache-1.3.19/mod_perl-1.25) and none of them have this problem I'm running into. I have a module that defines several 'first class' apache directives called 'Toolbox::Apache::Config.pm'. My other installations have NO problem with this module, but when I try to load the thing in my freshly compiled and installed httpd my config directives are flagged as invalid. This module was originally written using my (EXTREMELY dog-eared - thanks Lincoln and Doug!) Eagle book for reference, and it appears that the mechanism has been streamlined in recent releases of mod_perl. Namely, using the Apache::ModuleConfig() mechanism is the 'new' method of handling these directives rather than the 'older' methods. Additionally, upon scrounging through mailing lists and the guide, I discovered that newer versions of mod_perl prefer using "PerlModule Toolbox::Apache::Config" in the config file rather than "use Toolbox::Apache::Config;" in the startup.pl file. Upon changing, I get segfaults... I tried re-writing my module using the (newer) method discussed in the guide, and upon run I get undefined versions on the PerlModule line. I'm at a loss at this point and have been tearing my hair out for more than three days... Am I just missing something so obvious I'll look like an ass or did something fundamental change here that I'm not seeing (or finding on the guild/mailing lists)? ======================== Makefile.PL ======================== package Toolbox::Apache::Config; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; use Apache::ExtUtils qw (command_table); use Apache::src(); my @directives = ( { name => 'Debug', errmsg => 'On or Off', args_how => 'FLAG', req_override => 'OR_ALL', }, ... etc ... ); command_table(\@directives); # See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence # the contents of the Makefile that is written.
