bug report question

The sample bug report (using t/REPORT) says to send bug reports to dev 
<at> perl.apache.org, but the web page under "Reporting Information" (at 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Reporting_Problems) 
seems to indicate bugs should be sent to this list (modperl users). Is 
either ok?

modperl@ is just fine for generic issues and bugs, and the people on dev@
are here as well.  if you have traced the issue, understand what is going
wrong internally, have a patch, and so on then dev@ is probably better,
though, since that's the place where the gritty internal stuff usually happens.

Nothing to be sorry about, John :) Glad to hear it worked.

In the future help us to help you and provide us with something we can work 
with. As suggested in my previous reply, a log of 'make install' could have 
been helpful. But till the next time... :)

I ran t/REPORT _after_ I had given up on installing _14 and successfully 
installed _13. Sorry for the confusion.

There were no previously installed files. My multiple attempts to 
install _14 were prior to having any mod_perl versions installed.

(In the confusion of the multiple install attempts, I thought of this 
too, but other sanity checks like 'find / -name PerlRun.pm -print' also 
showed nothing had been installed.)

Well, in desperation I reinstalled perl, updated everything to current

something with my install. Sorry about that...

But you already have 1.99_13 installed. Have you tried nuking it first? May be 
your timestamps on the previously installed files are in the future? What's 
the output of 'make install'? I've seen this kind of problem before with other 
perl modules. Most likely some glitch with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Have you tried 
upgrading it?

[mp2] perl modules not installed with 1.99_14?

Posted by John Wittkoski <jo...@aol.com>.

-------------8<---------- Start Bug Report ------------8<----------
1. Problem Description:


I've tried this multiple times, always with the same result,
and I didn't see anything in Changes that would account for
this, so...


This was on a machine which didn't have mod_perl (1 or 2) installed at
all initially.

When installing 1.99_14 using the standard procedure:

perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2
make
make test
make install

The modules are in blib, tests succeed and the headers are installed
under /usr/local/apache2/include/, but none of the perl modules (APR::*,
Apache::*, ModPerl::*etc) are installed under /usr/lib/perl5/.

Initially I thought they must have been installed in some other
location, but I used find on / didn't turn up anything. I also did a
'touch TIMESTAMP' before 'make install' and then 'find -newer ...',
which showed the headers were updated but no modules.

After a while I decided to try 1.99_13, and:
Doing the exact same procedure with 1.99_13 on the same machine installs
the modules as expected.
