Re: [mp2] httpd.conf Perl block problems

[Geoffrey Young]

The first bug is a known one: apparently, recent mod_perls are sensitive 
to the syntax of the Perl tag: they require a space in it, like this: 
Perl   I hope this is just a bug that hasn't risen to the top of the 
priority list yet, and that the mod_perl folk don't intend to keep this 
sytax.
this is due to a limitation of apache 2.0.  there _may_ be a way around it, 
but probably not any time soon.

Once that was fixed, I found a new problem.  I recieved errors like this:

Syntax error on line 1059 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Bareword Apache::OK not allowed while strict subs in use at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0//i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache/PerlSection.pm 
line 47.!BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0//i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache/PerlSection.pm 
line 58.!Compilation failed in require at (eval 57) line 3.!
try this patch, which was introduced after 1.99_09

I can live with that.  It's good enough to know that you (plural) aren't 
thrilled with it, either, and intend to fix it some day.  :)

Without trying it, I'm sure that line will fix the error I'm seeing. 
I'd try it, but my RH9 box can't be disturbed at the moment.

Thanks!

you will find that you need all the lines in that patch to get it to work - 
the error you are seeing is just masking others that will occur at runtime :)

Oy! Indeed. I am the guilty person to blame for not having fixed it
quite yet. And yes, we are all very much aware of it ;-( But I am happy
to say : It's httpd's fault!.
