there are changes in SVN to support perls >= 5.22, but the work hasn't been released and may not be complete yet. This is the bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=101962 If you can downgrade your perl to 5.20 then you should be able to get things running. Adam On 07/21/2016 05:

OK I will give that a try. Unfortunate, as 5.24.0 has been blessed with LTS status by the Perl gods. Hopefully a new mod_perl will come out that includes this fix. Bill. On 7/21/2016 6:10 PM, Adam Prime wrote: there are changes in SVN to support perls >= 5.22, but the work hasn't been releas

Yes, I intend to make a new mod_perl release with the fix very soon after two maint perl releases (5.22.3 / 5.24.1) are done. Sorry this fix has languished so long. In the meantime, if you're able to grab the latest SVN source and try it then that would be a great help: It should be good to go, bu

I thought I saw somewhere the term LTS used with respect to Perl 5.24 but can't find it now... however they do push pretty hard to run the latest version: * On https://www.perl.org/get.html it says, "We recommend that you always run the latest stable version, currently 5.24.0. If you're

Sorry, with all the things we're upgrading I don't want to add the variable of experimental code into the mix. I'll just run 5.20.3 for now. Bill On 7/22/2016 12:12 AM, Steve Hay wrote: Yes, I intend to make a new mod_perl release with the fix very soon after two maint perl releases (5.22.3 /

Thanks for the heads up ... will definitely put that on the roadmap. For now I will stick to 2.2 to reduce the number of things that might go wrong, but once we get stable on this version I'll look into 2.4 Bill On 7/22/2016 12:27 PM, John D Groenveld wrote: In message , William A Rowe Jr w
