Apache::Test unable to locate libperl.so?
I'm trying to come up to speed on Apache::Test. I'm working from Stas's
documentation at http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html.
My system is roughly:
gentoo linux 1.4
perl 5.8.0 useithreads=undef useperlio=define
apache 1.3.28
mod_perl 1.3.28
Apache::Test 1.04 (2003/08/28 cvs snapshot)
I ended up having to patch TestConfig.pm so that it could locate libperl.so.
TestConfig.pm's find_apache_module method doesn't try the
/usr/lib/apache-extramodules directory... Which is where Gentoo linux likes
to put it. A few searches on google suggest Mandrake may put things there as
well.
I don't know the story on "extramodules"... If anyone is familiar with it
please point me to any documentation or rational on why it exists and what
advantage it offers. I hate finding customizations without a clue as to why
they're there.
Anyways what follows is my best guess on a reasonable way to locate it when
trying to find modules.

If a distro changes the default LIBEXECDIR after building apache, (and not
during ./configure) it has to fix apxs to report the new value, so that 'apxs
-q LIBEXECDIR' gets the right value. If it doesn't please report a bug to the
distro maintainers and ask them them fix that package.
Sorry, but I don't think this approach of adjusting to each distro's will
going to work. We already do too much guess-work that I'm thinking of
dropping, since it does more evil than goodness.
Meanwhile symlinking libexec-extramodules => libexec should do the trick.
