ModPerl::RegistryLoader doesn't compile from the command line

[Max Kanat-Alexander <mk...@bugzilla.org>]

	From any command line, try:

	perl -MModPerl::RegistryLoader

	At least in 2.0.1, that causes this error:

	Bareword "Apache2::ServerUtil::server_root" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/ModPerl/RegistryLoader.pm line 74.

	However, the script properly uses Apache2::ServerUtil, which does
indeed have a subroutine called server_root.

	This is not a problem when Apache uses the module, only when you try to
compile a command-line script that uses ModPerl::RegistryLoader.

	Why would I want to do that, you ask? Well, we have a test suite that
makes sure all our scripts compile. One of those scripts is our mod_perl
startup script, which uses ModPerl::RegistryLoader. So, it would be nice
if it would compile from the command line. There's no reason for it
*not* to compile--I can't figure out why it's failing.

	Ah, okay. Thanks for the explanation. Changing it to
Apache2::ServerUtil->server_root would probably at least make it work at
compile-time, I suppose, though.

	Okay, good to know.

You can't do that.  These are APIs to apache internals.  They don't work
without the httpd environment.

You need to use Apache-Test for the mod_perl bits if you want to do
that.
