Apache::Request for apache2, mod_perl2, mason1.28

[Bart Lenoir <ma...@lingtren.com>]

Hi to all,

I've been building perl-5.8.6, httpd-2.0.53, mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4(static) and
HTML-Mason-1.28 in /usr/local on Linux 2.4 (Debian). Everything went fine
until one of the last of Mason's requirements was Apache::Request, which
wasn't compatible with mod_perl2.

Is this setup possible or should i stick to apache 1.3/mod_perl 1.27? 
There Mason works like a charm with Apache::Request for perl in /usr/bin.

Without Mason, i don't mind using mod_perl-2 without Apache::Request.
(I didn't manage libapreq2-2.04_03-dev to build either.)

This question may have been asked plenty of times before, sorry for that.

Regards,

Bart

That's admittedly confusing, but when using mod_perl-2, you
should ignore the recommendation to install version 1.022 of
Apache::Filter, which is for use with mod_perl-1. The
mod_perl-2 package contains it's own Apache::Filter, which
is at version 0.01.

A trigger here you can use to infer this is the requirement
of Apache::Constants, which is a mod_perl-1-specific
package; in mod_perl-2, this functionality has been split up
into three packages: Apache::Const, APR::Const, and
ModPerl::Const.

Hi,

I started all over but with mod_perl2 as DSO this time. The static
installation of mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4 at the time went ok, but now it failed for
the test t/api/module. So, I took mod_perl-1.99_17 which compiled very well.
libapreq2-2.04_03-dev I also managed to install but Mason is still not as it
should be: 

Checking for Scalar::Util...ok
Checking for File::Spec...ok
Checking for CGI...ok
Checking for Cache::Cache...ok
Checking for Exception::Class...ok
Checking for Test::More...ok
Checking for Params::Validate...ok
Checking for Class::Container...ok
Checking for Apache::Request...ok

*** If you plan to use Mason with Apache::Filter
    you will need to install Apache::Filter 1.021 or newer.
Warning: prerequisite Apache::Filter 1.021 not found. We have 0.01.

Whilst reïnstalling (did that a couple of times already) Apache-Filter-1.022,
it keeps on looking for Apache::Constants which is also already present. 

Just now i tried mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4 again and everything went fine!

It's kind of funny: 
Installing apache-perl (1.3.33-3), libapache-request-perl (1.1-0.1),
libhtml-mason-perl (1:1.26-1) as Debian packages, takes less than one minute
and everything is functional right away.

Cheers,

Bart

Though, it seems your problem is in compiling libapreq2.

I'm using perl-5.8.5, apache-2.0.52, mod_perl-1.9917 (DSO), Mason-1.27, 
and libapreq2-2.04_03-dev. I've recently started testing 
mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4 (still DSO) and the latest version of apreq, and 
things are running smoothly.

What problems are you having with libapreq2? You probably should get the 
most recent version; some bugs have been fixed since 2.04_03-dev. You 
can get the most recent version here:

http://svn.apache.org/snapshots/apreq/
