Problems loading POSIX module

[erich oliphant <ol...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
I have a script that bombs under modperl when it tries to 'use POSIX'.  I 
get the same message when I try to preload it in the httpd.conf.  Here's the 
error:
--
[Tue Aug 29 15:59:21 2000] [error] Can't load 
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/auto/POSIX/POSIX.so' for module

failed--compilation aborted at 
/dts/env/TRAVEL/app/dts/web/cgi-bin/webspeed.pl line 76.
--
The script runs fine from the command line.
There are two versions of perl on the box 5.6 and 5.0005.  5.6 is first in 
the path on the command line (checked via perl -v and whereis).  I examined 
the perl-status page for mod_perl (Perl Configuration and Loaded Modules). 
They indicate that it's using 5.6 , the @INC paths have 5.6 stuff listed 
first, and all of the loaded modules are coming out of the 5.6 directory.

I am only using CGI and POSIX.  Since CGI was preloaded, I tried some 
arbitrary unloaded modules (Math::Trig, etc.) and they ran fine.

Any ideas?

Could a POSIX.so already be loaded somehow?

can you post the output of the script below, run like so:

% perl perlnm.pl stack_sp POSIX

and your 'perl -V' too.

use Config;

my $sym = shift;
my @modules;

for (@ARGV) {
    my $so;
    for my $path (@INC) {
        if (-e ($so = "$path/auto/$_/$_.so")) {
            push @modules, $so;
            last;
        }
    }
}

for ("$Config{archlibexp}/CORE/libperl.a",
     "$Config{archlibexp}/CORE/libperl.so",
     $Config{perlpath},
     @modules)
  {
      next unless -e $_;
      my $cmd = "nm $_ | grep $sym";
      print "$cmd\n";
      system $cmd;
  }
