I have resolved this myself. It appears the perlio test failed because of
some trivial permission problems in the t/perlio directory. Various files
didn't exist or were unwritable by the test script so I touched and chmodded
them appropriately.

Sorry, I'll do this from now on.

It works when I use this.

Thanks for your reply,

mp2/httpd2 perlio test fail & register_cleanup CGI.pm error

[Philip Burrow]

Hi all. Read some nice things about mod_perl so I thought I'd try it. I
tried mp1 with the latest 1.x of Apache but Apache just seg faulted if I
tried to run it. So, I went on to httpd 2.x. Couple of problems though.

Firstly, it fails 11/11 of the apr/perlio.t tests during make test. All
other tests are fine. Secondly, I get this error in the log when I try to
run a CGI that uses CGI.pm:

ModPerl::Registry: Can't locate object method "register_cleanup" via package
"Apache::RequestRec" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm line 270.

The CGI in question works fine without mod_perl.

I'm using the startup script specified on
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html and have configured
Apache as per that page. I have installed perl 5.8.0 from source as per your
documentation on the site. All related modules are latest versions from
CPAN.

Versions of software: RedHat 7.2, httpd 2.0.42, mod_perl 1.99_07, CGI.pm
2.89, kernel 2.4.19.

Cheers,

Phil.
