Working Apache::Peek

[Adam Sussman <ad...@ticketmaster.com>]

Has anyone gotten Apache::Peek under Apache::Status to work with perl 5.6.1
and mod_perl 1.26?

The stock module from CPAN won't even compile (version 0.9501...is there a
newer one out there somewhere?).

I tried applying Doug's patch to the Devel::Peek that comes with perl 5.6.1
and (after some fiddling), got
it to compile and autoload correctly.  Unfortunatly, this module just seg
faults every time DUMP is called.

Does anyone have a working Apache::Peek for the latest Perl and mod_perl?

I'll include the backtrace on the frankensteined Devel::Peek for 5.6.1 in
case anyone can make something
out of it.
