PERL5LIB and make test

[Jim Helm]

Title: Message

(Hi, I posted this to the regular list a few days ago, and didn't get any response, so maybe it was more suited to this audience... )

 

Ok, this is pretty long, but I was trying to make sure I included everything relevant to the problem.

 

Is there a simple answer to getting 'make test' for mod_perl to work when all extra perl modules are in a custom location?  Simply having PERL5LIB=/appl/perl/lib exported when running the builds doesn't seem to suffice. It works fine for everything else perlish, just not the mod_perl 'make test'.

 

I'm building apache 1.3.23 and mod_perl 1.26 (with latest mod_ssl - but that doesn't seem to be part of the problem).  I have all the modules not included with perl installed in /appl/perl/lib.  This is a Solaris 8 64-bit system.  perl was built with 'sh Configure -des -Duseshrplib' (useshrplib was for postgres, I'm building modperl statically).  I used gcc 3.0.3 for everything (installed latest binutils first then gcc - both from sunfreeware).

 

mod_perl:

 

<<file:makepl_args.mod_perl>>
APACHE_SRC=/data/build/WEB/apache
SSL_BASE=/usr/local/ssl
EVERYTHING=1
DO_HTTPD=1
PREP_HTTPD=1
USE_APACI=1
PERL_SSI=1

 

#perl Makefile.PL PERL5LIB=/appl/perl/lib && make

 

apache:

 

#SSL_BASE=/usr/local/ssl \
        ./configure \
        --with-layout=Apache \
        --server-uid=web \
        --server-gid=web \
        --disable-rule=EXPAT \
        --disable-module=asis \
        --disable-module=imap \
        --disable-module=negotiation \
        --disable-module=userdir \
        --enable-module=proxy \
        --enable-module=rewrite \
        --enable-module=define \
        --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
        --enable-module=perl \
        --enable-module=ssl
#make

 

mod_perl:

 

#PERL_HTTP_URI_CLASS=URI::URL make test

 

Now that you have all the background, some deatils on the problem:

 

My symptoms are that the httpd process (and the module/cgi and module/include subtests once the httpd issue was fixed) complains that the CGI modules can't be found. At the end I've included a capture of the make test output, both unmodified, and modified (that's coming) - I ignored the Net::HTTP errors since they just looked like warnings, rather than errors - please let me know if that's really a problem. 

 

I added a few BEGIN{print $ENV{PERL5LIB},"\n"} lines here and there in various places and found that my PERL5LIB wasn't getting picked up by either the httpd/mod_perl process, or the scripts run via cgi.

 

I finally got it to work by modifying Makefile.PL and httpd.conf-dist, as well as creating a t/docs/local.pl.

 

In Makefile.PL I noticed that at line 1273 it reads:

 

 PERL5LIB => "PERL5LIB=$ENV{PERL5LIB}",

 

Shouldn't this be like this instead? 

 

 PERL5LIB => "$ENV{PERL5LIB}",

 

Maybe I don't understand the purpose, but it seems wrong, especially given the errors below where ../PERL5LIB=/data/web/xxx is actually shown in @INC for t/TEST.  I can't see an immediate reason to have ../VAR=/path in the @INC. Anyway... I made that change and in that same file I modified line 99 so instead of

 

 $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "$PWD/lib";

 

it reads

 

 $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "$PWD/lib" . ($ENV{PERL5LIB} ? ":$ENV{PERL5LIB}" : "");

 

This way it preserves any local PERL5LIB settings while adding the mod_perl build location.  I'm not sure if the $PWD/lib is even needed since it didn't seem to be right in the first place.  Maybe the $PWD/lib part could just be dropped altogether.

 

In httpd.conf-dist (or httpd.conf if I wasn't rerunning the whole build again but just the 'make run-tests') I had to add

 

 PassEnv PERL5LIB

 

or the tests run through normal cgi instead of mod_perl don't work.  I placed it in the #mod_perl section, right before 'PerlPassEnv PERl5LIB'.

 

Finally, I created a local.pl, since that's looked for by the startup.pl in t/docs:

 

 use lib '/appl/perl/lib';
 1;

 

So, I got all the tests to work, but I was wondering if there was a build option I was missing, or something that wasn't documented yet?  I did spend 2 days researching this before posting, so I really hope I didn't miss something in the docs, the FAQ or the mod_perl guide.  In making the changes, I tried to change things in as few places as possible.  If there's a better way to do this, please, show me how!

 

Also, since mod_perl and LWP still don't seem to play well together in their current versions, I used the PERL_HTTP_URI_CLASS=URI::URL "hack" to things to work. (I found that in the mod_perl list archives...)

 

Thanks for anything you can help with on this.

 

Jim
