They provide ~/perl as the destination. Have you tried local::lib? It's supposed to be suitable for shared environments. -- Richard Jones # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

I will look into the other errors, but the above is not advised on Mac OS X. ulimit setting has a problem on Mac OS X, and is best removed. (lots of Google hits on this subject). Another thing -- perhaps a prompt would be advised here saying that We are going to change your Apache conf file, and your Apache server is going to be restarted. Type [restart] to continue, or [cancel the test] to skip the test. The default should be [cancel the test]. In any case, C::A::D did not install under ~/perl, as is evident from the above.

Apache::Test doesn't change your apache config, it just uses the existing apache/mod_perl binary with it's own config file. -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####
