Folks: I recently re-installed mod_perl on my development computer from source. I downgraded from Apache2/mp2 to Apache 1.3.29/mp 1.29 in order to match versions with my production server.
Since the reinstall I have had a strange problem. Printing small strings like "foo" using "print" without a filehandle or "croak" have not yielded any output to either the browser or the error_log. Printing long strings works ok, like printing the results of a cgi::formbuilder script. This leads me to believe that this may be a buffering problem. However, I have never encountered this behavior with MP before and have not had problems with buffering in MP before. Can someone offer a pointer? Also, if anyone knows how to have apache/mp send errors to the browser directly rather than to the error_log, that would be much appreciated.
