i fear this has been asked many times, but i could not find a definitive answer.
i am using a system on which mod_perl is available, but the Perl version it's using is 5.6.1 this system also has Perl version 5.8.1 installed. is there any way to use the 5.8.1 interpreter without rebuilding mod_perl? the only thing i found related to this was here: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Should_I_Rebuild_mod_perl_if_I_have_Upgraded_Perl_ Should I Rebuild mod_perl if I have Upgraded Perl? Yes, you should. You have to rebuild the mod_perl enabled server since it has a hard-coded @INC variable. This points to the old Perl and it is probably linked to an old libperl library. If for some reason you need to keep the old Perl version around you can modify @INC in the startup script, but it is better to build afresh to save you getting into a mess. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i do not have the option of rebuilding mod_perl and i found that this answer only seemed to address the @INC variable. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
