Help in MP1 to MP2[Scanned]

[Darryl Waterhouse <da...@omsl.net>]

Hi All,

First time post to this list, hope this is relevant, and/or doesn't
offend/upset anyone.

I'm in the process of migrating from MP1 to MP2.
MP1 was a static installation (performed by myself), and MP2 obviously
under AP2 is the standard installation under RH EL 4 ES version.
I've followed the migration guidelines as per instruction, but can sill
only get my Handlers running under MP2 if I use the Apache::compat
directive.

Thing is, I want a clean running pacey system, and need to alleviate
this problem.
Now, I've adjusted the httpd.conf and other startup files as I've needed
to, and the issue I have when attempting to fire up Apache is that is
can't find Apache::Constants...
Okay,  okay, I'm aware we now use the more granular distributed name
spaces, and have tried to make adjustments accordingly, using APR:: and
ModPerl:: where I need to.
What I can't quite understand is *why* the handler is still looking for
Apache::Constants?! Or more to the point, where do I look to find this
out?
It's my code, but trying to find out what calls whom is really annoying
me!

Can anyone please shed some light on this issue? Or even point me as to
where precisely to look for this problem?

I'm convinced it's something daft/stupid and I'll kick myself when it is
fixed!

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

best regards,

Darryl Waterhouse

p.s. I'm not a beginner to AP1 or AP2, or compilation, or Linux, only
MP2!!! And I'm utterly convinced I've misread or worse, overlooked
something silly! :)

Darryl, add:

   use Carp;
   $SIG{__DIE__} = \&Carp::confess;

somewhere in your code (startup.pl?), and it will show you who wants those 
mp1 constants at the point of failure.
