I'm having a problem with <Perl> sections that I'm pretty sure shows a
bug
of some sort in the code that handles this. I've looked around a bit and
can't find any Perl that is responsible for generating the error show
below,
so I figured asking the list was the best next step.
in httpd.conf:
1 <Perl>
2 $ErrorLog = "|/home/tmornini/Source/ewingz/bin/spread_from_stdin.pl
ERROR";
3 </Perl>
4 ErrorLog "|/home/tmornini/Source/ewingz/bin/spread_from_stdin.pl
ERROR"
Lines 1-3 and 4 should do the same thing. They don't. I was banging my
head
against the wall with lines 1-3, so I took them out and added line 4,
which
works properly. I don't use them simultaneously, but mutually
exclusively.
When I use the <Perl> section (which I need to allow the path to
spread_from_stdin.pl to be dynamic at runtime) I receive this error:
[Wed Oct 24 09:52:25 2001] [error] <Perl>: ErrorLog takes one argument,
The filename of the error log
I think that this is a bug in whatever code validates $ErrorLog. It seems
it doesn't know that ErrorLog can be piped into another program...
Either that, or I'm being really dumb and missing something obvious. :-)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
