Startup behavier of Filter::Util::Call and DBI

[Mi...@gad.de]

Hi all,

I just updated our development system to some recent versions...

Perl 5.6.0->5.6.1, Apache 1.3.14->1.3.19, mod_perl 1.24_1->1.25, DBI 1.14->1.15,
Filter 1.19->1.23 (+16 others).

Now this is what I get at server startup:

# /opt/apache/bin/apachectl start
startup.pl: starting (0)
/opt/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd started
startup.pl: starting (1)
Subroutine Filter::tee::import redefined at
/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/aix/Filter/tee.pm line 11.

Note: We don't use Apache::DBI, for the childs we do connection caching
ourselves and in the parent (startup.pl) we bootstrap a lot of ressources from
the DB to RAM (and disconnect!).

Now I've got 4 questions:

1.) What can I do about the "Subroutine Filter... redefined" messages in the 2nd
startup cycle and on further restarts. (They are new with the upgrade.)

2.) What can I do about the "DBI handle cleared" message in the 3rd startup
cycle. (This is not related to the upgrade.)

3.) Why is startup.pl executed THREE times? I thought it would be executed only
twice (with PerlFreshRestart ON)?

4.) Why do the redefineds come up in the 2nd startup and on further restarts and
the DBI in the 3rd only?

Thanks&cu
