Mod_perl with NLDBM issue
I am trying to get a new configuration going. When I start 2.0.47 I get:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1110 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
<Perl> directive missing closing '>' [FAILED]
Line 1110 is the <Perl> line below:
PerlModule Apache::ASP
<Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside-asp>
<Files ~ (\.cgi)>
AddHandler perl-script .cgi
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
</Files>
<Perl>
$MLDBM::RemoveTaint = 1;
</Perl>
PerlSetVar Global /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global/
PerlSetVar Debug 2
</Directory>
Does anyone have any hints for me on what I am doing wrong? I compiled
mod_perl with EVERYTHING=1 and the LoadModule statement is in the config.
If I comment these 3 lines the server starts just fine:
# <Perl>
# $MLDBM::RemoveTaint = 1;
# </Perl>
Thanks,
Chris

I'll read up on that. Thanks.

I'm running mod perl 1.99_09. 07 gave funky compile stuff. Using <Perl >
instead of <Perl> as Stas suggested seemed to help that.
I'll try taking it out though as well.
I posted a followup about the next problem, the <Directory> tag. I've been
pounding on this for awhile so it is not surprising that simple things are
eluding me at the moment :)
Thanks,
Chris

In recent versions of Apache::ASP, I do not believe you need RemoveTaint,
so if you just remove that Perl block entirely, I think you will be fine.
Also be sure to explicitly set StateDir, or set NoState instead, otherwise
your state file end up in Global/.state which is probably not what you want.
Also note that some older versions of mod_perl 2 had problems parsing <Perl>
blocks, so be sure to upgrade to the latest mod_perl 2 released if you
want to use them.

Josh

The patch is now in the stable httpd-2.0 tree. So it should be included with
2.0.48 or the latest 2.0.49. I'll update the docs.

Thanks Larry.
I'll hold off on committing this patch, as Philippe has submitted a patch to
httpd-dev that makes the old behavior possible. So if his patch is committed,
we will only add a note "that for httpd version < foo, you need to use <Perl
>" and keep the rest of the docs untouched. We are waiting for the feedback.
