beginners help with the mod_perl_rules[1,2].pl script

[Eric Wagar <ew...@yahoo.com>]

I have created two files for testing before moving on to the next step in
mod_perl.

The two files are
http://209.25.194.147/eric/perl/mod_perl_rules1.pl
http://209.25.194.147/eric/perl/mod_perl_rules2.pl
They are exactly as shown on the
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/getwet.html#A_Sample_Apache__Registry_
Script
page.

As one can see from the page, the output is showing all programming
characters (ie, ';' '$r->' etc).

I see that after the "successful" run/loading of these pages one makes the
config changes in Apache.  And, I don't see any place that I need to add
anything to Apache before testing with the above two tests.

My perl is 5.8 and my Apache is 1.3.27 with mod_perl 1.27/php
4.3.1/frontpage 2002.  mod_perl is a DSO as are fp and php.  The OS is
Solaris 9.

Any help or pointers would be great.

Thanks
eric

That's because you set up mod_perl to work on /perl/* but you are using
URLs like /eric/perl/*.

Try this:
http://209.25.194.147/perl/mod_perl_rules1.pl

For some reason, I thought that the Apache addition was after the script
testing.  Sorry about that.

I changed the httpd.conf file with this:

Alias /perl/ /usr/local/apache/sites/default/eric/perl/
PerlModule Apache::Registry
<Location /perl/>
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlHandler Apache::Registry
     Options +ExecCGI
     PerlSendHeader On
     allow from all
</Location>
and restarted Apache.  I am still seeing the same page/characters as before.
I also see nothing in the error_log.  I do see a normal request in the
access_log though, again, same as before.  (Just for grins and giggles, I
closed and re-opened my IE just to be sure nothing was chached.)

thanks
eric

You have to modify httpd.conf as described earlier on that same page:
