All about CGI.pm
Hi,
Shouldn't mod_perl 2.0.X contain the CGI.pm, reason for this question is we
got
fedora core 5 running on our developement machines,
in our mod_perl handler, we got the following, and works fine, we did not
install CGI.pm seperately,
use CGI;
......
.....
...
$myParam = $cgi->param('param');
When we ran the same script on other Linux machine, the param value is not
showing, it looks to me from the observation that CGI.pm has not been
installed, but I was under the impression that mod_perl 2.0... by default
have CGI.pm installed, but doesnt look like that,
How can we install this seperately from where should we download this?
Shouldnt it come by default?
Thanks

CGI is available from CPAN.

The most recent mod_perl-related change was in 3.20, but you really
should just grab the latest one.
The current list of changes is here:

Can you let me know for mod_perl compatibility what is the minimum CGI.pm
version we should have?

Apache doesn't have an @INC because Apache doesn't have perl. It
looks like this is mod_perl's @INC. Did you print this out from a
script or module running through mod_perl?
To change which perl mod_perl is using, you just rebuild it with the
right one, as shown in previous mail.

Can you be more specific? What exactly is the program you're trying
to run that is finding the wrong perl?

The page you're looking at is not related to mod_perl. It is for
configuring the command-line utilities that come with apache. Those
are affected by the --with-perl option. If you don't plan to use
them, you can totally ignore this.
To build mod_perl with a specific perl, just call the Makefile.PL with it:
/opt/my/special/perl Makefile.PL

Perl 5.8.8.
Posted by JónJósef Bjarnason <jo...@it-cons.com>.
on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/install.html
the following section can be found:
Perl 5 [OPTIONAL]
For some of the support scripts like apxs or dbmmanage (which are written
in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required (versions 5.003 or newer are
sufficient). If you have multiple Perl interpreters (for example, a
systemwide install of Perl 4, and your own install of Perl 5), you are
advised to use the --with-perl option (see below) to make sure the
correct one is used by configure. If no Perl 5 interpreter is found by
the configure script, you will not be able to use the affected support
scripts. Of course, you will still be able to build and use Apache 2.0.
There is however no section below explaining the --with-perl option.
I am trying to upgrade perl 5.8.7 to 5.8.8 but apache always takes 5.8.7.
everywhere else my system uses perl 5.8.8
Does anyone know how --with-perl option works ?
or how to compile apache with perl 5.8.8 if this is not the correct way.
Thanks
Jon

CGI.pm is not bundled with mod_perl. It is bundled with Perl. You
should always make sure you have the latest version of it, since some
releases are important for security and for mod_perl compatibility.
You can get it from CPAN.
