Can't locate ModPerl/Registry.pm in @INC
Hi
I have followed the instructions to install dynamically linked mod_perl
on
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Installing_mod
_perl, having previously installed a statically linked version on a
different server.
When I installed the statically linked version, ModPerl/Registry.pm went
into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/, which is a
good place for it because @INC already looks there.
However, with my new install, ModPerl/Registry.pm has gone into
/usr/local/apache2/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/, which
isn't in my @INC.
Can someone tell me which options during the mod_perl install (or indeed
the apache2 install) I need to set so that ModPerl/Registry.pm goes into
a directory that perl already looks at? I realise I can alter my
PERL5LIB to look at
/usr/local/apache2/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/, but it
just seems messy...
Thanks
Mick

I do them all the time and I've never had modules install themselves
anyplace other than perl's @INC.
michael: I'd nuke /usr/local/apache2 and try again. if you still run
into trouble, please follow the steps here
http://perl.apache.org/bugs/
specifically running t/REPORT as it will send back all the args passed
to Makefile.PL, perl's @INC, etc.
thanks.

There is a lib directory, created under /usr/local/apache2/, and ModPerl::Registry gets stuck in there under site_perl/perl5.8.0/linux_multi_threaded/etc (you get the idea). But that path isn't in my @INC.
I also had to copy all the apr library files to /usr/lib.
It works now, but it all seems a bit messy....

Wait, maybe I've got this wrong. I never do dynamic installs.
There used to be an automatically added lib directory under the server
root and I don't remember if it's still in there or not. You can
check by dumping @INC from your startup.pl to see if it includes the
path where those libs were installed.

Well, when I used the "static install" instructions (on an identical server) ModPerl/Registry.pm was installed in a suitable place.
When I followed the "Dynamic install" instriuctions, it got stuck under /usr/local/apache2/.
Odd.

Are you sure you're using the same versions of perl and mod_perl
there? There shouldn't be anything special about the way mod_perl
installs its modules, i.e. they should go into the same place where
all of your CPAN installs go.

mod_perl supports the usual options supported by ExtUtils::MakeMaker:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Configuring_mod_perl
So you should be able to 'perl Makefile.PL LIB=/usr/lib' or something
quite similar.
