because the server_root_relative gave me errors. I read some where that
in order to test with startup scripts you need to use the
Apache::FakeRequest? Even if so, if I ignore the errors and just restart

think that has anything to do with it though.
There are two separate issues here:
1. you try to test perl code which only runs under mod_perl. but according
to your report you don't have a problem calling server_root_relative()
when you start the server. So this is not a problem, right?
2. your problem is that Apache-server_root_relative('lib/perl') doesn't
return what you expect. Is your ServerRoot set to '/Library/www'?

Thank you all for your help. You are correct, I didn't dawn on me that
my ServerRoot is somewhat different than my document root. I was
expecting it to return my documenrt root.
(embarasment...hence SERVER_ROOT_relative())
Well, I printed out my @INC to screen, and now I have directories that
do not exist in it from putting the wrong path in the
server_root_relative method, can any-one tell me how to remove this dir
from @INC? I treid a few ways but to no sucess.
Please be patient with idiocracy, I'm just a student trying to get ahead.

Per Einar,
Yes, I restarted it. I have INC printed out to the screen in one of my
test modules, and after a restart the dir's are still there so I opened
up a terminal window and did a:
perl -le 'print join \n, INC'
and the dir's I would like to pop off INC aren't listed but they are
listed in my browser from the module? I now realize that I can't change
my ServerRoot in httpd.conf because then apache won't be able to load
any of its modules at startup (in /usr/libexec/httpd).
So I have three choices
1.) Get the Apache source, compile and install where I need it. Instead
of the using one that comes with OSX.
2.) move the modules I build for mod_perl somewhere under the /usr
directory. (my doc root is /Library/www/docs Apple sets this up in two
totaly diff tree's)
3.) keep the modules where they are and just push(INC,
'/Library/www/lib'); instead of using use lib
Apache-server_root_relative('lib/perl'); (actually returns
/usr/lib/perl in stead of what I need, /Library/www/lib/perl)
Well, I'm not sure what I'll do yet, its only a developement machine for
educational purposes thankx for the help

Stas Beckman,
Thankx for your help also.

The code snippet for the startup file I used is on one of the other
emails/replies.
I think we've narrowed it down to three choices, but why would my INC
list one thing from the terminal and another from mod_perl? Are they two
seperate INC's?

Are they two seperate @INC's? mod_perl adds a few dirs to @INC on its own, but I still cannot understand what is your problem. Let's say you want to add '/Library/www/lib' to @INC. So inside startup.pl you do: use lib qw(/Library/www/lib); and that's it! Remember that you cannot affect @INC for the whole server from your handlers/scripts, as it gets reset after each request to the value it had after startup, so you can only change it during startup. -- __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

HI, sorry if this is the wrong place, I am new to the mailing list.
This is the right place. If you are new to mod_perl, you probably want
to read the docs first. See: http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/
I have apache/1.3.23 and mod_perl/1.27 (I just upgraded) and perl/5.6.0
When I try:
BEGIN {
use Apache ();
use lib Apache-server_root_relative('lib/perl');
}
I get compilation errors saying that it can't locate object method
server_root_relative via pachage Apache. BEGIN failed.
Can any-one help me out or point me in the right direction?
Are you sure you are testing this under mod_perl? Also please be more
specific, where did you put this code: in a startup file, a script or a
handler?
You cannot test code including Apache API without running under mod_perl.

Re: Apache-server_root_relative(); not found
Yes, I'm running it under mod_perl/1.27 which I compiled as a DSO with
apxs. This also gave me errors under 1.25, I just pushed INC to solve
it but I would like to use server_root_relative. I have it in a startup
script, the one from the eagle book. It goes like:
#! /usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
use Apache ();
use lib Apache-server_root_relative('lib/perl');
}
use Apache::Registry ();
use Apache::Constants ();
use CGI qw(-compile :all);
use CGI::Carp ();
use DBI ();
1;
Which I had it to change to: push(INC, '/Library/www/lib/perl');
because the server_root_relative gave me errors. I read some where that

Apache::FakeRequest? Even if so, if I ignore the errors and just restart
apache, it wont find 'lib/perl', so I have to push INC manually then do
a graceful restart for it to work. I am running OSX 10.1.4/Darwin. Dont
think that has anything to do with it though.

It might. It has been stated on the dev list that the lib pragma has a
problem under Darwin. Could you try:
BEGIN {
unshift @INC, Apache-server_root_relative('lib/perl');
}
?

Apache- methods are only available inside the server, not on the command
line. perl -c will pass if you remove the BEGIN block, which is not
required in either case.
