Problems with 1.3.6, Slackware 10, Perl 5.8.4

[Neil Gunton <ne...@nilspace.com>]

Hi Gerald,

I am trying to install Embperl 1.3.6 on a new laptop running Slackware
10. This has Apache 1.3.31, mod_perl 1.29 and Perl 5.8.4. I am getting
errors with make test, which I gather from the archives might be ok, but
then I am also getting a problem when starting Apache. I am just
wondering if I should perhaps move back to an earlier version of Perl to
make this work? I know you're probably not doing much development with
Embperl 1.3 any more, but I want to use the stable version rather than
the beta for now since I know it works well with all my existing code.

I am attaching the make test output and the output from starting Apache,
please let me know if there are any other tweaks or tests I can do...

Thanks in advance,

-Neil

Embperl 1.3.6 does not support Perl 5.8.4, sorry!

You don't write which tests fails, but I guess that the error tests fails,
which is due to your newer Apache version and is no problem.

Actually, this last one turned out to be my fault - startup.pl had a
reference to Embperl::Object (i.e. version 2) for testing the beta, and
I hadn't installed it on the laptop.

Perl 5.8.4 still seemed to be having a problem with HTML::Embperl,
judging by all the 'redefined' errors.

Meanwhile, I installed Perl 5.6.1 on the laptop and everything seems to
be running ok now (but the make test still fails).

Thanks,

-Neil

Thats just a change in perl error message (note the new quotes) - harmless.

This is due to a change in CGI.pm and means file uploads won't work
until you apply a hack to keep the CGI object around.

See my Debian patches (search list archive for URL and details) for
both fixes.

This used to happen with old mod_perl versions, I haven't noticed it
for a long time.  I wonder if this is normally hidden somehow, but the
later error causes it to be printed?

Doesn't sound good - no idea whats wrong here.  I presume
Embperl/Object.pm does actually exist in one of those directories?
