Mod_perl or /usr/bin/perl, how can I tell 1

[NullTerminator]

How can I tell if Apache is actually using mod_perl vs just executing using the perl binary. I don't have root access, but do have access to httpd.conf.

There doesn't seem to be any script-handler directives in httpd.conf

tnx

Run this perl script via the web. Since mod_perl is normally configured per VirtualHost.
This script will tell you whether that hosts .CGI's are running under CGI or mod_perl.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $is_cgi = $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} ne ~ m|^CGI-Perl/| ? 1 : 0;

print "content-type:text/html\n\n";

if ( $is _cgi ) {
    print "CGI";
}
else {
    print "mod_perl";
}

Just what I needed. I tweaked script to

my $is_cgi = $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} !~ m|^CGI-Perl/| ? 1 : 0;

running apache 2 on FC4, having trouble verifying modperl is handling requests

Test script worked on mod_perl 1.99_08 with win32 indogo distro but I am having problem with FC4.
Apache 2.0.54 modperl 2.02

mod_perl_test.pl say it is built with mod perl but I can't confirm via the ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE}

I rebuilt apache with --with-mpm=prefork, did make clean, make, make install. Rebuilt mod_perl with MP_TRACE=1 and MP_APXS=/opt/apache/subversion/bin/apxs then make clean and make and make install

mod_perl_test.pl returns

Mod_perl test script

Mod_perl is installed on this server: mod_perl/2.0.2
