Re: Help: Can't coerce GLOB to string...

[Kurt George Gjerde]

Ah, an old message of mine. I think this in the end boiled down to 
mod_perl writing this particular error to the server's main error_log 
and not to the actual virtual server's error_log where other errors go.

This might have been fixed. I still run the same build of mp2 (because 
it works) but I guess I should upgrade :)

Thanks,
-Kurt.

Unless I'm missing something, mod_perl doesn't do anything special with
STDERR
(it does tie STDIN and STDOUT for 'perl-script' handlers). Apache opens
stderr
to error_log, and then everything just works. e.g. if you do:
warn "Foo";
or
print STDERR "OOOPS\n";
this ends up in error_log, no?

I suppose that XML::LibXSLT redefines STDERR then. Try to see what it
does to
create this problem.


The key to this problem is that the function $parser->parse_string()
cannot take a scalar as argument.
This way it works and doesn't produce "Can't coerce ..." anymore :

my $sheet = $parser->parse_string(<<'EOT');
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="no"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="FILTER_RULE NAT_RULE LOG_RULE"/>
<!-- this XSLT sheet transforms a netfilter XML rule document into an
iptables script -->
<xsl:template match="NETFILTER">

...

EOT
