EmbperlFilter startup weirdness

[Tim Carroll <ti...@boomboom.com>]

Greetings all,

I never noticed this in my error_log before I upgraded to the most
recent Apache/mod_perl/Embperl(beta)-- but on Apache startup I get the
following when I invoke Apache::EmbperlFilter in http.conf:

Constant subroutine dbgAll redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/constant.pm line 175.

[Tue Aug 29 03:26:48 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24 configured -- resuming normal operations

For testing purposes, all I need to do is start Apache with
"PerlModule Apache::EmbperlFilter" for the above result. Otherwise, I
get the same messages when it is invoked in <Location></Location>, for
example: "PerlHandler Apache::SandwichFilter Apache::EmbperlFilter".

Otherwise, my setup seems to work as planned, though maybe this is
why an Embperl-heavy page that I just imported to this server won't
work? First things first, I am checking the modules.

I wondered if my Apache::EmperlFilter was out of step with new
developments-- I installed the thing sometime in January-- so I looked
around for it last night and without success. Has EmbperlFilter been
withdrawn from CPAN or from the Embperl or Filter distribution I most
likely obtained it? I was surprised to find no trace of it beyond the
occasional debuggery queries to mail lists.

I apologize if this subject has been addressed before by this list. I
am just joining today.

Thanks for your help,

These are warnings, they normaly occur when you set FreshRestart to on. You
can safely ignore them.
Turning FreshRestart to off, should also turn off these warnings.

PerlFreshRestart makes trouble with some Perl modules, so you may turn it
off and try it again.

EmbperlFilter was just send as a mail to the mod_perl mailing list. It never
had made it way to CPAN :-(
There is nothing changed in Embperl, which should make it incompatible with
that version of EmbperlFilter

In such a case you may search the archive
