To Whom It May Concern,
I have a question with regards using LD_PRELOAD (or something more appropriate) to
load libiconv_plug.so and override any other iconv implementation. (Would be grateful
is someone can help).
I'm running Apache with mod_perl 1.24 on Solaris 2.6. I'm using XML::Sablotron, and
get it to convert to the iso-8859-1 character set. This isn't supported by default on
Solaris, because its default iconv installation doesn't support Unicode (which is what
Sablotron converts from). So I installed a new iconv implementation - and in the
installation it advises using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so to override
the default iconv implementation.
When running my scripts under normal CGI circumstances I used SetEnv in httpd.conf in
the <Directory/> configuration to set LD_PRELOAD. When trying the script under
mod_perl, I've tried a number of methods to get libiconv_plug.so to override the
default iconv implementation to no avail.
I've tried SetEnv (out of desperation... I already knew it wouldn't work)
I tried compiling Sablotron with iconv_plug.so, but I figured that wouldn't work,
'cause then it's loaded after the default implementation
I tried set LD_PRELOAD and then running apachectl.
I tried setting LD_PRELOAD inside apachectl.
Really... I'd be grateful if someone has an answer for this.
Thanks in advance,
Rajit
