Tim - You're quite right - I should have noticed the reference to 5.8.0 in the @INC file.
I didn't /think/ 5.8.0 was stable ?! Am I being stupid ? Either way: perl -e 'use Apache::Request || die $!;' from the command line should tell you if you have Apache::Request installed. If you don't perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::Request' You're extremely likely to get more dependencies than you can shake a big stick at - but oh Well. You may also have a hell of a lot of questions - if you've never used cpan before... but let's hope you have ! :-) Good thinking, Batman @ Tim ;-) Gareth -----Original Message----- From: Tim Tompkins [mailto:timt@;arttoday.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 18:08 To: DeAngelo Lampkin; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache::Request" (via Mason)... Is Apache::Request installed for perl 5.8.0? Sounds like it's not loaded, anyway.

Hi Gareth, I'm using the latest version of Mason, Mason 1.15. As I posted in my previous email, I put the following lines into my httpd.conf file per the instructions on Mason's website: PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler <FilesMatch "\.msn$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </FilesMatch> The reason this wasn't posted on a Mason mailing list is that this didn't seem like a Mason problem per se and the Mason mailing list page specifically mentioned the Apache Request object (at least in part the source of my problem)as being something that is not directly Mason related( http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users ). So I took the advice of the list moderator and posted on the mod_perl list instead. Thanks!

You need to set Mason up better - probably. I'm an avid Mason user, and I've seen this a fair few times. If you want help, you're most likely to get it on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. However if you want to tell me the version of mason you're using it might help. You could use a mason-handler.pl with Mason 1.12 ( or 1.15) and the new Lexer / Compiller components. There should be a require statement in your httpd.conf. This gives you better control over data structures, variable scopes, and an opportunity to handle persistent database connections better in the handler. Check out the information on http://www.masonhq.com Hope this helps.

Hey guys, You may remember me from such messages as "I can't get mod_perl to compile on Irix64 systems!". Well now I've got a whole new problem that I need your expertise on. I'm running Apache 1.3x and mod_perl 1.2x on a Linux system. However, whenever I go to a page that should be handled by Mason (a perl templating system), I get the following error message: -------------------------------------------------------- "[Wed Nov 6 11:56:20 2002] [error] Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache::Request" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line 878." -------------------------------------------------------------------- My guess is that this (at some level)involves a configuration error of some kind. I added the following lines to my httpd.conf file per the instructions on Mason's website: --------------------------------------------------------------- PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler <FilesMatch "\.msn$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler </FilesMatch> --------------------------------------------------------------------- So I'm not sure what's going on here. I looked through Apache/Request.pm and found no "new" method and I didn't find one inside of Apache.pm either (from which the Request module inherets). However, I'm assuming this is all correct and some magical ultra-Perl-guru AUTOLOAD-like functionality is going on somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas about what may be causing this? Thanks, DeAngelo
