Here is what I have found... I went back and ran make test on Embperl. Most, but not all, of the mod_perl tests fail with the message "ERR:EOF instead of reponse status line". For example, test #131 completes fine. However when I run test #130 it ends up with the following message:
Starting httpd... pid = 21027 ok Testing mod_perl mode... #130 mdatsess.htm... ERR:EOF instead of reponse status line Input: test/html/mdatsess.htm Output: test/tmp/out.htm Log: test/tmp/test.log Testparameter: query_info = cnt=0 cookie = expectno offline = 0 ERRORS detected! NOT all test have been passed successfully It still remains that cookie based session management does seem to work as it should, but cookieless sessions do not. Whatever the case may be, they both behave differently to be sure. I can watch session information being inserted into the database whenever I am using cookie based session management, and see by the logs that a session is maintained since it gets the session_id and reports it. However, with cookieless sessions this session id seems to be lost so a new one is issued at the next request. Unless it is that the session is expiring for some reason, and I am not sure how to tell if this is the case. And, for reference, I have Apache::Session v1.54 and Apache::SessionX v2.00b3 installed. Both were installed by using the CPAN shell, everything else I have downloaded and installed from source myself. Enjoy the conference, and if you (Gerald) don't get a chance to actually test this for awhile it is not going to be a big problem. This is just a personal project otherwise I'd be pushing for a commercial support license. However, I am one of the many poor technical people that has been laid off, so I don't have the money to buy a contract myself. :O) BTW, I do think Embperl is a VERY cool thing. I was considering learning JSP, which still may happen just for marketability, and found Embperl instead. I have been a Perl nut for a few years now, and really am impressed with what has become of Embperl. Any input from anybody on the above error would be appreciated. As far as I can tell mod_perl is installed and working properly. I installed it the same way I have a hundred times before... but that doesn't mean I didn't have it wrong all those times before as well. I can't run make test on mod_perl since it is installed as a DSO, but if I compile it into apache make test runs fine. I am baffled... and it isn't the first time.
