mod_perl2: apache.pm vs apache2.pm (CGI.pm)
I've mod_perl running on several machines (apache 1.x) Today I
installed a new system with apache2 and ran into deep troubles and
questions:
I installed perl-5.8.0, apache 2.0.43 and mod_perl 1.99_07
I preload Apache2 and use ModPerl::Registry:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
PerlModule Apache2
and for my perl-files:
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
As soon as I try to run a script under mod_perl that uses CGI.pm I get
the problem:
[Fri Nov 01 23:27:43 2002] [error] 9558: ModPerl::Registry: Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm line 161.
Compilation failed in require at /home/htdocs/perl/testgoldfisch.cgi line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/htdocs/perl/testgoldfisch.cgi line 4.
Now I was starting to look around and in fact I have Apache.pm and
Apache2.pm on my system. Apache.pm is not in @INC (its in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI/Apache.pm where it came from perl-insallation)
In @INC I only have Apache2.pm, which comes from the mod_perl Installation.
Now I dont know whats going on. Maybe this both two modules have nothing in common but a similar name.
Shall I extend my @INC so that Apache.pm is in it (where is best place to change @INC ?).
If I use the Compat-mode the problem vanishes. Is the CGI-module
incompatible with mod_perl2 ? If yes, is there any alternative that
can be used without need to rewrite all our libraries that rely on
CGI.pm ?
thnx,
peter

First, make sure you have the latest version of CGI.pm from CPAN. It has
fixes in there to automatically load Apache::Compat for you. Also CGI.pm
isn't fully mod_perl2 compatable. so there is that over head
unfortunally. Right now for me, I'll deal with the extra overhead, and
with time Everything will be mod_perl2.0 aware.
DBI.pm, CGI.pm, and Text::Templates would be great if they were to port
them to work on mod_perl2 ASAP :)

Yes !!

Probably not :-( unless you use Apache::compat .
