Posting in the hopes it helps others out. Caveat empor thou, i've only tested bare functionality nothing more so far! After various headpounding exercises trying to get mod_perl integrated into the Irix freeware perl5.00503 and freeware apache (1.3.9), I've found the magic incantation that made rld stop bitching about unresolvable symbols. A tip o' the wizard's hat to Alan Burlison for the discussion[1] in the apache+mod_perl+solaris thread that gave me the lead on the incantation. Like Solaris, Irix has a way to preload or override library linkage, it's just called a different name -- _RLD_LIST: tcsh> env _RLD_LIST=/usr/freeware/apache/libexec/libperl.so:\ /usr/freeware/lib/perl5/5.00503/irix-o32/CORE/libperl.so:DEFAULT\ /usr/freeware/apache/bin/httpd Alert readers will note that I mention apache 1.3.12 in the subject line, yet allude to the freeware 1.3.9 apache. I need o32 (as opposed to n32, the default 32bit code) binaries to link against the Oracle libs I'm using for DBI::Oracle, so I simply built & installed 1.3.12 using the freeware config. I can't see any reason why the use of _RLD_LIST couldn't be used to create a mod_perl against 'stock' irix freeware apache & perl, which are compiled n32, thou. (if anyone has leads on *supported* n32 Oracle libs, I'd love to hear about it. Recompiling umpteen bits -o32 gets tiring.)
