Emerging mod_perl-1.99.09 won't make it work as expected. Apparently, it's modules are saved into /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2/, but perl is not being configured to look into this path. The result is that, trying to use mod_perl inside Apache fails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge /usr/portage/dev-perl/mod_perl/mod_perl-1.99.09.ebuild 2. set up a mod_perl script (using for example, the Mod_perl::Registry module). Detailed steps for this can be found in http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html under the title 'Registry Scripts' 3. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 4. Try running the script. In the example above, it would be acessing http://localhost/perl/rock.pl Actual Results: On the browser I was given the message: Error 500 Internal Server Error. Looking at /var/log/apache2/error_log gave me the following: [Sun Oct 12 15:42:46 2003] [error] failed to resolve handler `ModPerl::Registry' [Sun Oct 12 15:42:46 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't locate ModPerl/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl . /etc/apache2/ /etc/apache2/lib/perl) at (eval 1) line 3. Which clearly shows that /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2/ is not being added to the path perl uses to load its modules. A quick way around this is: # export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2/ # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Which gives the expected results: the scripts runs flawlessly then. mentecapto / # emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.21-win4lin) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.21-win4lin i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.noved.org/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.noved.org/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="apm foomaticdb libg++ mikmod mpeg pdflib spell xml2 gdbm berkdb slang arts aalib svga mysql tcpd libwww ssl esd motif moznocompose moznoirc moznomail cups -3dfx 3dnow -acl -afs -alsa -apache2 -atlas avi -canna cdr -cjk crypt -debug -dedicated -dvb dvd -emacs encode -ethereal -ev6 -evo -fbcon -firebird -flash -gb gif -gnome -gphoto2 gpm -gps gtk -gtkhtml -guile imagemagick -icc -icc-pgo -imap imlib -ipv6 -jack java jikes -joystick jpeg -junit -kde -kerberos -krb4 -ladcca icms -ldap -leim -lirc mad maildir -matrox -mbox -mcal mmx mozilla -mule -nas ncurses -nls -nocardbus -oci8 -odbc oggvorbis opengl oss -pam -pcmcia -pda perl plotutils png -pnp -postgres python qt quicktime readline -samba scanner sdl sse -socks5 tcltk tetex tiff truetype -usb -voodoo3 -trusted -wavelan X -Xaw3d -xinerama xmms x86 zlib xv"
how about marking mod_perl 1.99.X as stable since apache2 is now stable and 1.27 is only for apache1
I'd prefer not to mark mod_perl 2 stable until it stops being 1.99 and becomes 2.0. Does adding "PerlModule Apache2" to your httpd.conf help anything here?
