Hi I'm total new to Embperl and I've been struggling for the best part of a week to install Embperl on a Fedora 17 server running Apache 2.2.22, mod_perl/2.0.5 and Perl/v5.14.2
Since I finally got 'Hello World' to work I thought I would post some hints as to how I managed this amazing feat. The base install (Apache, mod_perl and all the perl dependencies were installed using yum). Unfortunately Embperl has been overlooked by the Fedora crew, therefore, it has to be installed manually from source. I simply downloaded Embperl-2.5.0.tar.gz from http://perl.apache.org/dist/ and followed the yellow brick road (perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, su .. make install) Before arriving at the above, I tried to install HTML::EmbperlObject from CPAN ... DON'T, compilation is a tangle of deps. ;-( Now the real ice bag on head part. The tutorial here http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/03/embperl.html is nearly right! In my httpd.conf I changed HTML::EmbperlObject to Embperl::Object and removed PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl because Embperl::Object always looks for _base.epl, I think! So I just substituted the file base.epl for _base.epl. And the final trick is, obvious LOL, point your browser at /hello.html That's it! Enjoy. Conceptuality Embperl is magic :-) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Successful-Embperl-Install-Fedora-17-tp34557702p34557702.html Sent from the Embperl mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: embperl-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: embperl-h...@perl.apache.org
