Hi List,
I have two servers using mod_perl, both having the same modules installed and
enabled; server1 got a fresh install of Debian Buster, while server2 was
upgraded to Buster from Stretch.
This code :
my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->new(-name => 'session',
-value => $session_id,
-domain => $hostname
) ;
generates the following error on server2 :
[Sun May 31 19:54:03.053725 2020] [perl:error] [pid 30663] [client 83.113.48.133:59196] Can't locate object
method "new" via package "CGI::Cookie" (perhaps you forgot to load
"CGI::Cookie"?) at /home/lib/Marica/Base/login.pm line 198.\n, referer:
https://marica.fr/site/abonnes/index.html
It works fine if add "use CGI::Cookie" to my module.
What could be the reason why it works on server1 without "use CGI::Cookie" and
not on server2?
Hi.
Since the two systems were installed/upgraded differently ..
When I configure mod_perl on a Debian system, I usually have a "startup script" running
from within the /etc/apache2/mod_enabled/perl.conf file, e.g. via
PerlPostConfigRequire "/etc/apache2/modperl2_startup.pl"
This startup script, among other things, preloads frequently-used modules, so that they
will be loaded and available later in any Apache child/thread. Like :
...
use lib "some_path_with_proprietary_modules";
...
use ModPerl::Registry ();
use CGI ();
CGI->compile(':all');
use My::Module;
...
Maybe you forgot this on one of the systems, and not the other ?
P.S.
I also use the same startup script to log some information to the Apache error log at
startup, such as this for example :
[Sun May 31 06:25:08.054152 2020] [:error] [pid 5519] mp2-startup: EFSDIR is :
/home/EFS

[Sun May 31 06:25:08.054173 2020] [:error] [pid 5519] mp2-startup:

[Sun May 31 06:25:08.054184 2020] [:error] [pid 5519] mp2-startup: @INC is now :

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 / /usr/share/perl/5.20 / /usr/local/lib/site_perl / .
/ /etc/apache2
precisely so that I would know what the perl module library search paths would be under
Apache when it runs.
