I've recently upgraded the pre-installed Perl 5.6 on a server running Mac OS 10.2 to Perl 5.8.0, and as part of the upgrade I need to recompile mod_perl (mod_perl-1.28). I'm not running Apple's Apache, but Tenon's integrated solution, iTools, based on apache_1.3.27. The make procedure runs without any problems -- make test completes at 100% -- and the install is straightforward.
However, the resulting module crashes Apache during startup, and Tenon seem to be quite nonplussed and are unwilling to help, so I am on my own. I am new to compiling mod_perl, but experienced in other server maintenance areas, so any pointers from you folks who have done this before would be much appreciated.
I have found a couple of articles on the install process, but they are very old and seem to be out of date.
I'm not on darwin, so I can't try to reproduce your problem. Also I can't deduct the possible reason for the crash from your core trace, because it doesn't show the arguments to the calls. You need to rebuild perl and mod_perl with debug support and then get the backtrace again. While you are rebuilding perl I'd suggest to try the latest perl, which is perl-5.8.1-RC5
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.1-RC5.tar.gz
You can find more info on rebuilding with debug support at http/perl.apache.org/bugs/
