But he's trying to use Dispatch under mod_perl. And once he upgrade Apache::Test to the latest version the tests passed. But he won't be able to use it with that not-real-pre-beta version of mod_perl that Debian chooses to ship since it's fundamentally broken (incompatible with all Apache2 modules). > Is it really necessary to have mod_perl to use Dispatch?

Perhaps I've missed something though. You're right, Dispatch will work fine under normal CGI and as you've seen by experience, FCGI too. The test suite does use Apache::Test to run the mod_perl tests. If it doesn't skip them when you don't have Apache::Test installed then that should be fixed. Patches are welcome, or even better, commit bits are free from Jason Purdy. I'm currently pretty pretty slammed at $work with a major release and then I have the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop and Apache Con to get ready for, not to mention a 1.0 release of Smolder coming up... But if no-one else get's to it by the time I have some free time, then I'll take a crack at it. -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cgiapp&r=1&w=2 To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
