Embperl / Apache 2.0.40: ignores "(Perl)SetEnv"

Hello all,

A few days ago I upgraded from a very old Redhat to a recent RedHat 9.
With embperl: Embperl-2.0b9, mod_perl 1.99_07-5 (default RH9) and Apache
2.0.40 (default RH9).

Since this upgrade a few things go wrong (ESCMODE has different default
and SYNTAX also). Since I have a few friends who also use my webserver I
would like to make it behave as before.

In order to do this I added the following lines to my httpd.conf:
PerlModule Embperl
Embperl_UseEnv on
SetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 0
SetEnv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16
SetEnv EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0
SetEnv EMBPERL_SYNTAX "EmbperlBlocks"

When I do this Apache says "invalid command" on the "Embperl UseEnv on"
part. When I comment this it ignores the other options.

I searched the history of this list and other google's: the only thing I
cold find was this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/embperl@perl.apache.org/msg05307.html
with the most interesting reply:

This might also be the reason why RH9 fails, they also have mod-perl
1.99_07
"----------------------------------------

I tried to upgrade to 1.99_09 but end up in a RPM dependency hell.

Does any one have a sollution for me that allows my to "disable" this
(advanced) behavoir without having to edit every embperl file?

Maybe someone has a modperl upgrade that works on RH9 and Apache 2.0.40 if
his really it the sollution.

May thanks.

J.

I don't use RH and have no binaries, but 2.0.40 is really old and has some
security problems For theses reason I would suggest you to compile Apache
and mod_perl newset version of your own. This should solve your problems
