Bug#418825: libapache2-mod-perl2: Apache2.pm not found in @INC after dist upgrade
severity 418825 normal tag 418825 + etch thanks Hi, First of all, excuse us for taking so long to answer to this mail. mod_perl2 was sadly undermaintained, and its bugs were left to rot - even when ranked at a high severity. I just adopted this package today. I am downgrading this bug to normal, as it includes a workaround, and will work on a way to address it for users who have not yet upgraded. However, automatic upgrades will probably just not work - When Sarge was frozen as the stable version back in 2005, mod_perl2 was just about to stabilize its API - It was named libapache2-mod-perl2, and most of the API was in place, but you will understand from the 1.999.21-1 version number something was just about to happen. And it happened - Apache modules written with the previous API will not work with the current one. The changes are simple, however, and documented. Please take a look at Apache's A Reference to mod_perl 1.0 to mod_perl 2.0 Migration [1] and (if your modules mix Perl and C code) Porting Apache:: XS Modules from mod_perl 1.0 to 2.0. For some discussion on the rationale behind the Apache authors for this change, you should also read mod_perl 2.0 renaming [3]. Keep in mind that the modules you developed for Sarge are made for an intermediate API - They are no longer compatible with Apache 1.x's mod_perl API, but they are still not 2.0 compliant. Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for not making this known to you in advance.
