Hi Gerald, thank you for your work regarding Perl 5.18, which I hope to be able to look at soon. In the meantime, I have been struggling to make Embperl work with Apache 2.4, which is now in Debian testing/unstable for a few weeks.
Compiling Embperl was relatively straight-forward; all I needed to do in addition was to source the /etc/apache2/envvars file which sets up a few paths. Getting the test suite to pass is more complicated; on Debian, the provided httpd.conf needs statements to load the desired mpm module, and there were issues with the LockFile directive, so I added the following patch: ---8<--- --- a/test/conf/httpd.min.conf.src +++ b/test/conf/httpd.min.conf.src @@ -41,6 +41,8 @@ print OFH "LoadModule embperl_module \"$EPPATH/blib/arch/auto/Embperl/Embperl.so\"\n" if ($MP2) ; +print OFH "LoadModule mpm_prefork_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so\n"; # if apache2.4 + print OFH <<EOD ; ErrorLog tmp/httpd.err.log @@ -64,7 +66,6 @@ print OFH <<EOD ; TypesConfig conf/null -LockFile tmp/httpd.lock PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_SRC \"$EPPATH\" --- a/test/conf/httpd.conf.src +++ b/test/conf/httpd.conf.src @@ -56,6 +56,10 @@ print OFH "LoadModule embperl_module \"$EPPATH/blib/arch/auto/Embperl/Embperl.so\"\n" if ($MP2) ; +print OFH "LoadModule mpm_prefork_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so\n"; # if apache24 +print OFH "LoadModule authn_core_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authn_core.so\n"; # if apache24 +print OFH "LoadModule authz_core_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_core.so\n"; # if apache24 + ##print OFH "PassEnv ACTION_PREFIX\n" ; print OFH "PerlPassEnv TEST_PRELOAD\n" ; @@ -118,7 +122,6 @@ print OFH <<EOD ; TypesConfig conf/null -LockFile tmp/httpd.lock # needs mod_log_config ---8<--- But there is one error that I'm left with now: "#32 notfound.htm" works fine in offline and mod_perl mode, but fails in cgi mode with the following message: ---8<--- #31 unclosed.htm... ok #32 notfound.htm...

When I add 'cgi' => 0, to @testdata for notfound.htm in test.pl, the entire test suite passes successfully. Any idea what might be the reason, and how to fix this? I'm reluctant to just disable a failing test...
