Hi everyone!
Im working on some scripts that run under mod_perl via
Apache::Registry, on the latest stable versions of mod_perl and apache
under FreeBSD 3.3-stable.
This scripts make authentication to cybercash using the api that they
provide.
The problem is that in the API are 2 programs (binarys made in C) that
are called, if i ran the scripts under Apache::Registry, when the perl
scripts are done and the httpd proccess end, the 2 programs now are in
zombie state, for every request.
If i dont use mod_perl the scripts are ok. No zombie proccesses.
This is the code from cybercash that runs the first one:
MCKencrypt="/usr/local/bin/mckencrypt";
unless (open2(\*CIPHER, \*PLAINTEXT, $MCKencrypt)) {
return($E_EncryptFailed, &MCKGetErrorMessage($E_EncryptFailed));
}
As you can see, they use open() and my perl was not compiled with sfio
support.
The error is cause mod_perl doesnt allow open,exec without sfio?
Is there a workaround rather that just installing sfio?
Or is there a way to use the $r request record outside from mod_perl?
,i really like the $r but i dont know how to use it outsite mod_perl.
Thank you very much.
-Leonardo.
