I just tried moving a working Apache::ASP application to a Red Hat Linux 9 system, and couldn't get the Apache::ASP->Loader() statement to work. Here's what I have at the end of my httpd.conf:
<Perl>
Apache::ASP->Loader('/path/to/my/app', "asp\$",
'Global' => '.',
'Debug' => 0);
</Perl>When I try to start the httpd server, it says:
Syntax error on line 1052 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: <Perl> directive missing closing '>'
Riiiigght. Missing '>', sure....
Plainly it's confused, but why? If I comment the contents of the <Perl> block out, leaving just the tags, I get the same message. If I comment the entire block out, the app works flawlessly, but of course now I'm not getting the benefits of global precompiling. This block works just fine on our "stock plus patches" Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3 systems.
For what it's worth, this <Perl> block is at the end of the file, just after the <Files> block setting up ASP handling in my app's directory, which follows the "PerlModule Apache::ASP" directive, which is outside the Files block, which newer Apaches seem to want.
I'm using Apache::ASP 2.53 on a Red Hat 9 setup plus some newer Perl modules from CPAN and some patches from Red Hat. The OS was loaded just this morning, so I don't think it's very far from "stock".
I imagine this is an Apache 2 or mod_perl 2 issue, but nothing I found in this list's archives gives me any clues as to what's going on.
