Did you see this message from the Mason list? If so, did this solution not work for you? -----Original Message----- From: P. Fleury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 3:33 PM To: Marc Logghe Subject: Re: [Mason] Apache silently dies part 2 Hi Marc, I have experienced similar behavior (i.e. silent crashed of apache) on now 2 systems. Both are RedHat 7.2, and after using their up2date to upgrade perl, mod_perl and associated RPM dependencies. By modifying the files of the Mason distribution (basically a moving __DATA__ :-) I tracked it down to a problem with Data::Dumper. This uses a binary if available (compiled C code), and a Perl code only if the binary is not available. By manually reinstalling this package, Apache starts, and serves my Mason pages fine again. I do not know if other packages having a binary part may introduce similar behavior. And I just described my fix, I do not have a complete explanation either ... sorry!
