Problem after upgrading to Perl 5.8.8

Since you're in a corner, here are a couple of possible ideas to consider (if you haven't already tried these)
- Replace PERL5LIB to what it originally had - I'm thinking this will resolve you're 3rd point.
- Append "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi" to @INC - this may deal with your "Can't locate mod_perl.pm" error at the end of your 1st point.

Thanks PinkeyNBrain,
I tried to locate @INC and I can't seem to find it... I'm running CentOS?

Thanks,
PaulReed

@INC is a variable within the perl script. Check your Makefile.PL (around line 27 ?!) and add the following line

Hi PinkeyNBrain,
I really appreciate your help but I don't know what Makefile.PL you're referring too... I'm really new at this.

Hi PinkeyNBrain,
I figured out what Makefile.PL you talking about, I'm going to try it now... I'll let you know.

Thanks

Try this one:
- Since your error message is saying that the @INC var is looking through

(Can't locate mod_perl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: Apache-Test/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 27.

Click to expand...

and if I'm reading your (original) 3rd point correctly, you are finding the mod_perl.pm under
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi

How about trying to put a copy of the mod_perl.pm under /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl (i.e. one of the directories @INC is considering valid)

Thanks PinkeyNBrain, I did cp mod_perl.pm over to that directory... this is what I got after I did that.

Is there a way I can start all over? I mean start all over with installing all the Perl Modules again where all would be under Perl 5.8.8?

Thanks,

Instead of putting src.pm under:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl

Try:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Apache/src.pm

since that is what it appears to be looking for. Careful about moving (mv) your files. You may want to just make copies (cp). There may be some other lingering routine that wants to find the 'moved' file in it's original location.

As for backing everything out, there most likely is. But that is a level of voodoo that I wont try to offer assistance with because I'm not very familiar with it.

PiinkeyNBrain I meant I cp it, my mistake. I did what you suggested and put it at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Apache/src.pm.

I got this...

Seems like the install keeps asking about Digest::SHA.

Always possible it will cure some evils along the way.

PinkeyNBrain,

I don't know what that is other than it looks like another module, what should I do?

PinkeyNBrain,

I ran it, and got this... do I need to do anything at the 2> prompt> ?

Instead of typing - install Apache::Cookie
Try - install Digest::SHA

(Assuming that is successful)
Then try - install Apache::Cookie


Getting late at this end - my domestic CEO will be at it. Will reconvene tomorrow.

PinkeyNBrain... I know what you mean, I have one of those too Is it expensive to rewrite some perl scripts? Btw, where are you?

I ran Apache::Cookie and got this... it's still not right but it seems a bit better?

Expense - Depends on perspective. By looking at these posts, you spent most of yesterday getting this to work ... some may call the loss of an entire day expensive. I'll venture to say that in your case, one piece of the puzzle is out of place and it's causing a domino effect. The "install Apache::Cookie" command would most likely work without fault had one or two key pieces had been in place first.

Where - An hour east of the time stamps in these posts - Wisconsin.

Next - There seems to be two points where things are going awry:
1) It can't find /root/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.33-wKJ02j/META.yml
The dir seems to be there as it cd's into it, but the META.yml file is missing. Do a 'find' command and see if it shows up anywhere. If so, copy it over. This one however doesn't seem to be a show stopper. It may smooth out other issues, but time will tell.

2) I last see the install doing the following:
I'll guess that under the above indicated dir, there is a Request.xs file which apparently doesn't have an Apache::Table. Without being able to sit behind your monitor, I'm starting to reach the end of what I can offer. Try editing the file and see what looks reasonable. Perhaps see if there is another version of the file lingering around that may possibly have a section you can copy&paste into your Request.xs file to patch it in.

The command above is dumping its output to "Request.xsc" and then moving that file to Request.c ... apparently another input file for the next 'make' command, which promptly bombs out.

PinkeyNBrain,
I ended up compiling mod_perl as a DSO with APXS (Apache Extension Tool) and that way I didn't have to recompile apache. (and I didn't have to find apache src on the server). It went great.


Thanks a lot for all your help yesterday.
