Re: @INC and mod_perl - PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB ... doesn't seem to work

I think at some point mod_perl ignores PERL5LIB settings then. Can you confirm that? It seems to be working like a charm for me now. :-) I regret the false imputation... The root of my misunderstanding was that I did not realize that when I would start apache by hand, it was getting PERL5LIB from my shell environment. Then, when the system would reboot, and start Apache, it didn't have it! So I probably just had things misconfigured (like using 'SetEnv' instead of 'PerlSetEnv'), and mistakenly concluded that 'use lib' was the only thing that works reliably. I could never really debug the problem properly, since everything always worked by hand. Then when I saw Tim's post, it seemed to confirm what I already thought I knew. Shows what assuming will do. Hee-haw. ;-)

I think at some point mod_perl ignores PERL5LIB settings then. Can you confirm that? Ah, I just noticed something else. If I *am* running a startup script that 'use's modules that are in my PERL5LIB, I must do 'use lib', or the script fails to load them. So 'PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB' is pretty much useless (because not sufficient and redundant to 'use lib') in this case. That's probably normal and to-be-expected, but it would be nice if it were actually documented.

I'd also appreciate knowing if the "set the env. variable before Apache run" approach (ie. PERL5LIB=/usr/lib/foo httpsd ...) works, or whether this is going to be blown out of the water by subsequent mod_perl versions (though this may be currently unknowable, or known by very few people). :) On a related note (preloading in startup scripts), presumably packages which use AutoLoader/SelfLoader will do a fairly half-baked job of preloading. Should this pair have some kind of compile() functionality? (Not saying I'd implement it, but IF we turn out to need it, and nobody else has, and people think it's a good idea...)

I'm PERL5LIB to keep several versions of mod_perl's modules on the same system; the first one I installed (mod_perl 1.21) installed itself under the default location (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Apache), and then when I needed to setup another Apache with a more recent mod_perl, I prepared it with perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.19/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 \ PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1 \ LIB=/usr/local/new-apache/perl-lib and then I added the line PERL5LIB=/usr/local/ssl-apache/perl-lib ; export PERL5LIB to /usr/local/new-apache/bin/apachectl Looking at /perl-status's Modules page, @INC looks good. -- Roger Espel Llima, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iagora.com/~espel/index.html
