Further to the earlier note, I have been and done the following;
Replaced DBI, DBD-Pg and Log-Log4perl with the packages from theoryx5
(1.59, 1.45 and 1.06 respectively), which should all be compatible
builds with the ASF Apache release. At this point httpd is starting
successfully, but I'm immediately having a different problem with
Postgre. This is not Apache related - a simple bit of standalone Perl to
connect to a database crashes Perl with an exception on an unknown
ModName. Not a lot of help there. I've reverted back to the pgfoundry
2.10 DBD-Pg package. This gives connectivity back to the database, but
immediately starts giving the msvcrt.dll errors when running under
Apache.
At the moment I'm at a bit of a Catch 22. I can't totally verify that
the theoryx5 packages have resolved the Apache problems, as the lack of
a database connection limits what I can test. However, it does appear
that this may have resolved that issue. However, this build of DBD-Pg
appears to have other problems that prevent it working at all (and
appears that these may be known issues with this version of DBD-Pg).
As an alternative I've tried using ODBC to get to the database. The ODBC
package works fine standalone, but also exhibits the msvcrt problems
running under Apache. This is another package that I don't know the
build history of, and there is no known consistent package available at
theoryx5.
I've just tried a 2.14 DBD-Pg package from trouchelle.com, but have no
details of how this was constructed,, and this takes over and installs a
heap of replacement dll's. This won't even start standalone, and I'm
probably going to have to do a clean Perl install to recover from that.
Still struggling
