Hi all,
i have a problem concerning Apache::ASP and the @INC Array:
(Apache 2.0.52, MP 1.999.21)
httpd.conf:
..
PerlRequire /www/hmdb-lifa/conf/startup.pl
..
startup.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Apache2;
..print @INC to file..
1;
@INC (at server startup) contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi/Apache2
/usr/lib/perl5/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.9.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
.
/usr/local/apache2
just what one expected.
After adding the line "use Apache::ASP" to startup.pl, @INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1//i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi/Apache2
/usr/lib/perl5/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.9.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
.
/usr/local/apache2
Obviously the first two lines were added.
Problems:
- why are there double slashes in the first line?
- why adding paths, which allready exist?
- the main problem however is, when you have "use Apache::ASP" in your
startup.pl
or an "PerlOptions Autoload" in your httpd.conf,
the Apache::ASP handler is loaded at server startup and adjusts the @INC
array
in a manner that not the Apache2 path comes first.
This can cause wrong (non Apache2) modules being loaded at startup (if
there are any -
like at my machine) , so that the server
wouldn't start at all because of version mismatches of modules.
The problem does not exist, if you have only an "PerlModule Apache::ASP",
because then
the Apache::ASP module is loaded later where the handler is involked (at
least that's what i
read in the modperl docus).
To make things confusing, this problem first happend, when i upgraded to
mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4 (from RC1).
Anyway, could it be a solution to add the additional INC-pathes at server
startup behind the original ones and
not before them?
(The additional document-root path, that is added at handler runtime,
however should stay in front
of the other paths)
