Yes. You need to recompile Apache with RULE_EXPAT=no.

I'm hoping that now that expat has a standard distribution that the Apache
team will be proactive in fixing this bug.

 Yes. You need to recompile Apache with RULE_EXPAT=no.

according to Changes, this should be automatic as of 1.23...

are you using an older version or are the conflicts still aparent in 1.23 or
1.24?

Of course only if you compile Apache from mod_perl's Makefile.PL.

From what I've heard, Greg Stein is now aware of the problem and willing
to work it out for the next Apache release. But whether that happens
remains to be seen...

XML::Parse segmentation fault

[Herrington, Jack]

This code works as a perl script executed off the command line:

use XML::Parser;
my $parser = new XML::Parser();
$parser-parse( "form/form" );

This code fails with a segmentation fault when called from mod_perl:

package CBL::mod_perl::test1;

use strict;
use XML::Parser;

sub handler
{
my $r = shift;

my $parser = new XML::Parser();
$parser-parse( "form/form" );

$r-content_type( 'text/html' );
$r-send_http_header;
$r-print( "htmlbody" );
$r-print( "Testing" );
$r-print( "/body/html" );

return OK;
}

1;

Is there some inherint problem with XML::Parser and mod_perl?
