RE: Some wierd problem with mod_perl and Apache

Would like to know if someone can see any obvious problems here: package Apache::ChangePassword; use strict; use Apache::Constants qw(:common); use CGI '-autoload'; Well I wouldn't use CGI.pm just to call param(). If I don;t use CGI.pm, it complains during compilation - Undefined

Some wierd problem with mod_perl and Apache

I have been trying to debug this for some time, and am not sure what is happening or why it is happening. I have a simple gui that takes in old and new passwd and changes it. For this I have a change password button. Now the problem that I see is sometimes.when I enter the values in the

Vitor, Yes, I get the following error when I use the -T mode: Insecure dependency in `` while running with -T switch at /usr/sbin/usermod_wrapper.pl line 27 Please bear with me, if I am going through your answer again. Please let me know if the following would be the correct way to go: So to

RE: apache mod_perl + suid question

RE: apache mod_perl + suid question

Hello, I am trying to write a password changing program. For this I have a mod_perl subroutine from where I am trying to execute a perl script(with suid permissions 4711), which is a wrapper and in turn calls the usermod command on linux with the old and new passwords. The problem I am having:
