Re: Build of V2.1.0 fails on FreeBSD V6.1

Gerald;

Thanks for the quick reply.  I think I have actually found a solution to the 
problem.  I think there is some required housekeeping that was not done 
before the call to perl_call_pv.  I had add the following two line before 
the call and it seems to have resolved the problem.  Would you consider 
putting this into the next release?

{
   dSP;
   PUSHMARK(sp) ;
   perl_call_pv ("Embperl::PreLoadFiles", G_DISCARD) ;
}


Thanks and regards,

I have done some more research on this problem, and it seems
that this line in epinit.c (#973):

    perl_call_pv ("Embperl::PreLoadFiles", G_DISCARD) ;

Causes the problem.  If I comment it out, everything seems to work.

Gerald, if you are seeing this:  what is your opinion about
why this might fail?  I took a look at the function
Embperl::PreLoadFiles and it seems to be relevany only if
mod_perl is in play.  I am not using mod_perl.  Do you think
it's safe to comment out this call permanently?



Yes, it's safe to comment it out. You just loose the ability to preload
files during Apache startup, which you don't use if you don't use 
mod_perl.

Thanks for your research, I will try to find out what's wrong with this
function.

Gerald
