mod_perl-1.26 is incompatible with perl 5.00503
Hi again,
I have joint this mailing list to send the appended bug report.
But I get no response. Exist there a special bug report e-mail
address or is 5.00503 not supported any more by mod_perl-1.26?
IMO if the embedded test (make test) does not run, it can't be
my mistake. With mod_perl-1.25 and the same apache build it works.

Subject: problems with mod_perl-1.26 and perl 5.00503
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2001 11:15:41 +0100
Hi,
our apache web server must run on a HP-UX system, so we are not able
to switch to perl 5.6 (core dump by any %SIG access in mod_perl context).
So we use perl 5.00503 and mod_perl-1.25. Now we wont update to mod_perl-1.26
but where are some real problems:
1. test 4 (file upload) fails in modules/cgi.t because CGI.pm uses
read("main::STDIN", ...) and main::STDIN is not defined in
mod_perl 1.26 context
2. test 2 of internal/auth.t and the internal/dirmagic.t test
fails because the
use Apache::Constants ':common'
and
use Apache::Constants qw(DECLINED DIR_MAGIC_TYPE);
does not import the Apache constants in package name space of
My::DirIndex and Apache::AuthenTest. One solution is the attached
patch an other to use Apache::Constants::OK and so on in the handler
subroutines.
3. CGI.pm can not proper detect that it is running in mod_perl context.
It uses the following code (it is the newest version and the warn()
calls are added by me):
# Turn on special checking for Doug MacEachern's modperl
warn "GATEWAY_INTERFACE: $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}\n";
if (exists $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}
&&
($MOD_PERL = $ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'} =~ /^CGI-Perl\//))
{
$| = 1;
require Apache;
warn "MOD_PERL: $MOD_PERL\n";
}
and 'make test' shows the following:
cp t/conf/mod_perl_srm.conf t/conf/srm.conf
/var/tmp/apache_1.3.22/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d
`pwd`/t &

that means that during compile time of the test CGI scripts
GATEWAY_INTERFACE is not set. During runtime the environment
variable is set. I have also added an
warn "$ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}, $MOD_PERL\n";
to MultipartBuffer->new, because I wont change the CGI.pm code
$IN = "main::STDIN" unless $IN;
to
$IN = $MOD_PERL ? \*STDIN : "main::STDIN"
unless $IN;
and the output in t/logs/error_log is:
CGI-Perl/1.1,
4. the main name space is empty, so Apache::Status does not proper
work for 'ISA Tree', 'Inheritance Tree' and 'Symbol Table Dump'.
the trees are always empty, because Devel::Symdump->inh_tree and
Devel::Symdump->isa_tree uses
grep /\bISA$/, Devel::Symdump->rnew->arrays;
and Devel::Symdump->rnew without any argument uses the 'main'
name space which is empty. This shows the output of 'Symbol
Table Dump', in mod_perl-1.25 it shows:

but mod_perl-1.26 shows:

both are started with 'make start_httpd' and except the 'Apache/1.3.22'
in the header it is the same with Apache/1.3.19.
I hope this is enough input and that the problems can be fixed.
Currently we do not upgrade because we have old scripts which uses
the main name space and if CGI.pm does not determine that it is running
as Apache::Registry::handler then it does not the right things and
we use always CGI.pm. Off course CGI.pm should be also changed to
use $ENV{MOD_PERL} instead $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} =~ .. and *STDIN{IO}
instead "main::STDIN".
Kind regards and TIA, Silvio
