Ok, I've read the documentation and searched the archives for a similar problem but no luck. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.
Here's my situation: I've got Apache 2.0.46 with mod_perl 1.99_09 (called 2.0-tobe in the documentation) both of which were installed by the Red Hat Enterprise installation. I copied this startup file form the mod_perl docs: #!/usr/bin/perl # File: startup.pl use Apache2 (); use lib '/etc/httpd/lib/perl'; use ModPerl::Util (); #for CORE::GLOBAL::exit use Apache::compat (); use Apache::RequestRec (); use Apache::RequestIO (); use Apache::RequestUtil (); # commented this out because Apache::ServerRec # doesn't exist on the server and throws errors #use Apache::ServerRec (); use Apache::ServerUtil (); use Apache::Connection (); use Apache::Log (); use APR::Table (); use ModPerl::Registry (); use Apache::Const -compile => ':common'; use APR::Const -compile => ':common'; use CGI qw(-compile :all); 1; ----------------------------------- In my perl.conf file, I've added the following lines: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so PerlRequire conf/startup.pl # this is a test module PerlTransHandler Apache::DefaultTrans -------------------------------------- In my test module (modified from the O'Reilly "Writing Apache Modules" book), I have the following code: package Apache::DefaultTrans; # File: Apache/DefaultTrans.pm use Apache::Const qw(:common); use Apache::RequestIO (); use Apache::RequestRec (); use Apache::Log (); use Apache::Directive (); sub handler { my $r = shift; my $uri = $r->uri; my $tree = Apache::Directive::conftree(); my $document_root = $tree->lookup('DocumentRoot'); $r->filename($document_root . $r->uri); } --------------------------------- This throws the following error: [error] [client 10.1.0.28] Usage: Apache::Directive::conf tree(CLASS) at /etc/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/DefaultTrans.pm I've looked up this function in the documentation and this seems to be the right way to use it. Oddly, if I try to stuff some random variable in, like: my $tree = Apache::Directive::conftree($tree); the error goes away, but $tree is empty. Any help is appreciated.
