How can I tell whether mod_perl is running?
In the 1.0 documentation there is a section on ways to confirm
the version of mod_perl being run: checking the error_log,
viewing /perl-status, telnetting in and getting the environmental
variables with a script.
However, I can't find any corresponding section in the 2.0 documentation.
So, the fact I'm running mod_perl-1.99_16 with httpd-2.0.50, and I don't see
that information when I do the above, just the httpd version,
didn't worry me enough to force me to ask.
Here are some of the environmental variables retrieved
by a perl-script handler:
SERVER_SIGNATURE = <address>Apache/2.0.50 (Unix) Server at momotaro.chinmin.edu
MOD_PERL = mod_perl/1.99_16
GATEWAY_INTERFACE = CGI/1.1
The 1.0 documentation suggests that should be perl
GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI-Perl/1.1
but I ignored that because I have got basic handlers working and
CGI-Kwiki under mod_perl works fine. (The later Kwiki-0.33 does not).
Anyway, I am now being forced to wonder again if my httpd configuration is
not good after trying out Test-Apache in my build
directory. The signature there is:
[Sun Oct 03 08:25:54 2004] [notice] Apache/2.0.50 (Unix)
mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.3 world domination series/2.0
configured -- resuming normal operations
This is different than the public signature of httpd installed
in /usr/local/httpd. Is this signature with the mod_perl
information only for private testing?
Or did I get the perl.conf and httpd.conf wrong, or something
else?

Thanks Greg, now committed.

I can't see anything posted there. I suppose the moderators aren't around
to approve posts :( Just post it here in the future, or subscribe to that
list before posting to it.

Please take a look at:
http://perl.apache.org/contribute/index.html
to learn how to submit doc patches. HTML is not the source document, so
your patch can't be applied. And make sure that you include the whole path
and not just the final file, there is more than one install.pod in the tree.
Thanks Greg.

My problem was not getting any mod-perl info at all, just the
httpd one, and was due to having the ServerTokens directive set.
I found out about this thru the docu on the above method.
I copied that info into a patch to
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html
which I also sent to the docs-dev list. The value of this patch
depends, however on whether ServerTokens directive is also in
httpd 1! I don't know if it is or not.

most of the 1.0 docs need to be ported to 2.0. In this particular case
it's exactly the same as mp1.0. You are more than welcome to send patches
to accomplish that porting, Greg. Please read:

Right, this is due to to test of the $s->add_version_component() method:
modperl-2.0/t/conf/modperl_extra.pl:
$s->add_version_component("world domination series/2.0");
In other words you can add more things into the server signature, should
you want to.
