I've expirienced similar problems on Solaris (2.6). After a weeks worth of
hours I feel confidant saying that the instability is from perl 5.6.0 NOT
from mod_perl(1.23)
Problems resulting from the Sys::Syslog created problems for other modules
that relied on things like Net::Daemon and PlRPC moduless. Module authors I
contacted only did work arounds. comp.lang.perl.moderated didn't even post
the problems I was having. I never got past those issues to the numerous
other strange errors that were cropping up everywhere.
So after losing a weeks worth of hours I gave up in retreat. Dropping my
perl version to 5.005_03 and rebuilding everything seems to have restored
stability (and my sanity).
I'd just like to say that in this regard I didn't find Open Source very
Open. In fact things seemed quite corporate with the newsgroups and
mailing lists saying "off topic for here" or even failing to post
legitimate questions. These products are getting so intertwined the
definition of what topic belongs where begins to get mighty grey.
Then again maybe I just didn't read enough FAQs to ask the question the
right way. I'm not wanting to start a flame war, just reporting it as I see
it.
IMHO Solaris(2.6)Perl(5.6) just isn't fully cooked yet.

Subject: apache1.3.12, modperl1.23, perl5.6, ApacheJServ1.1, OpenSSL0.9.4,
modssl
Hi,
I am building an apache web server for serveral operating
systems: Solaris, HPUX, AIX and Windows NT.
My apache is based on:
apache_1.3.12/
openssl-0.9.4/
mod_ssl-2.6.2-1.3.12/
ApacheJServ-1.1/
mod_perl-1.23/
perl-5.6.0/
I have an older one, which is based on mod_perl-1.22 and
perl-5.005_03. This version works very fine on all platforms.
After I have upgrade to mod_perl-1.23 and perl-5.6.0 my apache
crashes on Solaris (mod_perl works fine, but if I try to start
a servlet via ApacheJServ I get a segmentation violation). Then
I build the apache without mod_perl-1.23. This version works
fine, my servlets are processed via the servlet engine in the
apache. I think, that mod_perl-1.23 does something wrong, but
I have no idea.
On Windows NT my new apache works fine.
I build mod_perl with
Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.12/src \
DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1
Have anyone experiences with this apache configuration? Can
anyone help me?
Thomas
