[mp2] Failure calling BOOT: code

[Marc Tardif <ma...@sitepak.com>]

-------------8<---------- Start Bug Report ------------8<----------
1. Problem Description:

This is the software installed on my system:

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
   httpd-2.0.54
   mod_perl-2.0.1

This is the configuration in my httpd.conf file:

   LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
   PerlRequire /usr/my/dev/lib/My/bootstrapper.pl
   SetHandler modperl
   PerlResponseHandler My::Handler

This is the content of /usr/my/dev/lib/My/bootstrapper.pl:

   use lib '/usr/my/dev/lib';
   open(STDERR, ">>/tmp/mod_perl.error.log") || die $!;

This is the content of /usr/my/dev/lib/My/Handler.pm:

   package My::Handler
   use Apache2::RequestRec ();
   use Apache2::RequestIO ();'
   use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);
   sub handler {
     my $r = shift;
     $r->print("hello_world");
     # require Mozilla::LDAP::API;
     return Apache2::Const::OK;
   }

The problem is that if I uncomment the require line in the handler,
I get the following error message in /tmp/mod_perl.error.log:

   Error loading Mozilla::LDAP::API: perldap_init failed

The solution might be related to the following XS code in API.xs:

   BOOT:
   if ( perldap_init() != 0) {
      fprintf(stderr,
      "Error loading Mozilla::LDAP::API: perldap_init failed\n");
      exit(1);
   }

So, perhaps perldap_init() is being called multiple times. Is there
something I can try in mod_perl to avoid this kind of problem? Can I
provide more information to help solve this problem?
