if it is a general mod_perl issue then it should be happening to, and be
well documented for, a lot of other users. I have done some bg search on
this, and not found anyone else experiencing the same symptoms. That is,
until Alex wrote in his email.
I have started experiencing these problems on my iBook ever since I
upgraded Perl to 5.6.1. On my Powerbook, where Perl is still at 5.6.0,
there is no such problem at all.
I don't know the reason, but having none, I am grasping at straws. And I
have pulled out a straw that is very similar to the one Alex has pulled
out as well. I am at a point now where I really don't care why this is
happening (well, I do, but I am really tired of this...). So, my hope is
that if I go back to Perl 5.6.0, hopefully the Perl/Apache/mod_perl
combo will start working again.
Maybe there should be a Perl-triad, analogous to the PHP-Apache-MySQL
triad that has become so popular. One install, and boom! you get a
web-server, a scripting language, and a database all configured to talk
with each other without a problem.
fwiw,
below are the perl-specific fragments from my httpd.conf
