I'm going to let the interested parties test that and send me a patch. Is anyone up for this? I'm in the US this week, so I'm not able to contribute much (plus I'd probably just break something ;-) Gurusamay, do you have a timescale for when you need this? I'll try to do it this weekend, or else if I get bored during LinuxWorld Expo :) Dan /\ /\ | Daniel Jacobowitz|__|SCS Class of 2002 | | Debian GNU/Linux Developer__Carnegie Mellon University | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \/ \/
Re: [ID 20000118.004] DynaLoader doesn't dlclose XS code on interpreter
Unfortunately I can't actually get mod_perl + a load of other stuff to build on 5.005_63, so I can't see if it cures the mod_perl problem. you need modperl from cvs to use 5.005_62+ http://perl.apache.org/from-cvs/ Could a DynaLoader guru have a quick look at the patch and let me know if it is complete garbage? I have backported the patch to 5.005_03, and it appears that mod_perl doesn't actually destroy the perl interpreter correctly when Apache does a restart. this wasn't a mistake at the time. there was no Apache dso and perl_destruct() was buggy, so mod_perl chose to only boot the interpreter once at startup and restarts became a noop for mod_perl, with the exception of "PerlFreshRestart", which just reloads %INC and flushes the Apache::Registry cache. I plan to revisit that along with the patches sometime within the next few days.
