embperl under mod perl

[Ruben I Safir - Brooklyn Linux Solutions CEO <ru...@mrbrklyn.com>]

I used to be recommended by Ruevain Lerner in the Linux Journal 
that to use EMBPERL under modperl we needed to compile embperl under mod perl:


<QUOTING>

Before you can start to compile the components, you will have to set some of
the configurations and modify
Makefiles. First of all, go into the mod_perl directory and edit
src/modules/perl/Makefile: 

/downloads/mod_perl-1.12/src/modules/perl/Makefile

You will have to make three changes to this file. First, add the HTML::Embperl
to the definition of
STATIC_EXTS that will be grabbed by the mod_perl configuration system. That is,
edit the line (line 98, in
mod_perl-1.12): 

#STATIC_EXTS = Apache Apache::Constants

and change it to: 

#STATIC_EXTS = Apache Apache::Constants HTML::Embperl

Next, look for the line that begins with OBJS= (line 131 in mod_perl-1.12).
Just before that line, define the
variable EPDIR so that it points to your Embperl build directory. For instance,
assuming that we are building
Embperl in /downloads/HTML-Embperl-1.0.0, we will set it to: 

EPDIR=/downloads/HTML-Embperl-1.0.0

We will now modify the OBJS variable such that it creates the object files for
Embperl as well as mod_perl: 

OBJS=$(PERLSRC:.c=.o) $(EPDIR)/Embperl.o \
$(EPDIR)/epmain.o $(EPDIR)/epio.o \
$(EPDIR)/epeval.o $(EPDIR)/epcmd.o \
$(EPDIR)/epchar.o $(EPDIR)/eputil.o

Don't forget to put backslashes at the end of each continued line, so that make
doesn't think the second and
third lines should stand on their own.

Which essentially put some parts of the embperl objects into the modperl
compile.  Any idea would he recommend that?  Is it needed today?

How old is this article ? If it's a new article is it available online
somewhere ?

This is only necessary if your plattform doesn't support dynamic loading.

No, you normaly only install mod_perl and Embperl afterwards and anything is
done (just as decribed in the INSTALL.pod)
