Ok, I tried building the Debian Embperl 2.2.0 that comes with Lenny from
source. I am not experienced at this. After some poking around, I turned
up this page on building packages:
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
After cd'ing into the libembperl-perl-2.2.0 directory, I did this:
apt-get build-dep libembperl-perl-2.2.0
This initially gave some errors, but I tried doing apt-get install on
the stuff it seemed to be complaining about, and retried until it gave
no errors. So far so good. Next I tried building, again in the embperl
source dir:
debuild -us -uc
This did a lot of compiling and testing, and seemed to be successful,
but eventually stopped with the following errors:
...
Manifying blib/man3/Embperl::Object.3pm

debuild: fatal error at line 1319:

So am I building this wrong? I have fakeroot installed.
I still don't know if this has anything to do with my original problem
or not. The fact that the mod_perl tests all seemed to complete ok gives
me some hope, but I still wonder if there isn't some very small API
inconsistency that has crept in somewhere, which is making Embperl barf
in the Apache2 environment. Again, any clues would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Can anybody please lend any insights here (see below)? Is anybody
actually using the stock Embperl2 that comes with Debian Lenny
(testing), along with stock Apache2 and mod_perl2? Are there problems
with it, or am I just doing something stupid with my configuration? The
error seems to imply that there may be something out of sync between
Embperl and the Apache2.2 API, but it could also just be a symptom of
something I'm doing wrong. Right now I am out of ideas.
I don't mean to be pushy, but I am going up to my datacenter in Chicago
on Wednesday (round trip takes all day) to rebuild my server. I'd like
to find out as soon as possible before then whether it's going to be
possible to install Debian Lenny, with all its latest software, or if
I'll instead have to stay with Etch. I'd much rather go to Lenny, but if
there are intrinsic problems with the Debian packages of Embperl then
I'll have to rethink.
Any help would be *much* appreciated...
Thanks!

Hi, I've been using Embperl 1.3 for years now on Apache 1.3, and now
I'm finally trying to upgrade my websites to use the latest Embperl
which is included with Debian Lenny (testing). So that means Apache
2.2, mod_perl 2, Embperl 2.2... I am just installing all this from
the deb packages, not from source.
I'm having a problem getting Embperl 2.2.0 to run. I have a very
simple config set up in /etc/apache2/mods-available/zembperl.conf:
PerlModule Embperl
EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl
<FilesMatch ".*\.html$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Embperl::Object
Options ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>
The zembperl.load is left unchanged.
In /etc/apache2/sites-available/dev.neilgunton.com I have:
NameVirtualHost dev.neilgunton.com
<VirtualHost dev.neilgunton.com>
ServerName dev.neilgunton.com
ServerAlias *.dev.neilgunton.com
DocumentRoot /www-dev/vhosts/test
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_APPNAME neilgunton_dev
</VirtualHost>
When I try to access dev.neilgunton.com, I get 500 error, with this in
the log:
ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: Can't call method "component" on an
undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/Embperl/App.pm line 58.\n
ERR: 61: : Unknown recipe 'Embperl'
Can't call method "log_file_start_pos" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/Embperl/App.pm line 81.
Any clues on what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!
Neil
