apache dies silently at start with perl-5.6.1 rpm

[Francesc Guasch Ortiz <fr...@etsetb.upc.es>]

I'm testing the latest perl rpms from redhat updates:
	perl-5.6.1-26.72.3
	mod_perl-1.26-2

I'm using HTML::Mason.

When I start apache it just dies silently without complaining
and I got nothing in the logs.

I even tried to remove the former perl and modules. I rpmed -e
a lot of things. Then I removed the perl5 dirs and I installed
perl and modules. That didn't worked.

When I asked in the Mason list I was told it was a modperl issue.

How can I debug what's happening ?

I've also noticed the cpan binaries aren't seeing well the
modules installed. When I do
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN

it starts downloading the perl-5.6.1 sources.

I made sure there are no other perl file binaries nor cpan
from other installations.

What can I do ?

One of the most common issues is that mod_perl is installed as a DSO and not
built statically into Apache.  mod_perl is usually installed this way with
rpm packages.
