I'm at my wits end here, as I've been hacking at this for a number of days now. As you can guess from the subject line, I've setup Apache on an AIX 4.3.3 box with mod_perl as a DSO. This compiles (with xlc 5.0.0.0) just fine, and I haven't a lick of problems there (thanks to all the patch info I found on the Embperl site). The problem I'm running into now is with Embperl. In case you are wondering, the symbols are not being stripped from httpd or libperl.so. I've gotten it to work standalone just fine. My problem comes when I try to access it through mod_perl. Standalone, using the embpexec.pl script, I can trace the calls from begining to end, through the bootstrap and everything. Through mod_perl, I get to the bootstrap code for HTML::Embperl and it seg faults. The perl code itself is fine, but the bootstrap in Embperl.so chokes. Also, I've tried compiling mod_perl statically into httpd, but I don't seem to be having much luck there. The symbols are all being exported, but none of the mod_perl configuration commands are recognized in httpd.conf. Thanks in advance.
