Make test with mod_perl 1.26
Greetings. I had a mod_perl setup with Apache 1.3.11/ mod_perl 1.24 on a RedHat Linux box running fine. Then I decided (or was asked, actually) to upgrade to Apache 1.3.20/ mod_perl 1.26. The Apache install by itself ran fine, but when I try to 'make test' with mod_perl, I get the following error: ../apache_1.3.20/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t & httpd listening on port 8529 will write error_log to: t/logs/error_log letting apache warm up...\c done /usr/bin/perl t/TEST 0 modules/actions.ok modules/cgi.FAILED test 4 Failed 1/5 tests, 80.00% okay No other errors but this one, but this one is enough to stop the install from working. Any ideas? I have tried reinstalling, redownloading... The only thing I have NOT done is installed Perl 5.6.1, which both Bundle::CPAN and Bundle::Apache tried to install. Is this necessary for this to work? Perl 5.00503 is on the box already. I was not planning to upgrade Perl at this time. I looked through the mailing list for similar errors, but no one seems to be having this exact problem. Thanks, Jonathan
re: Why is this book out of print? (Thanks)
I will try the online sources - many thanks for the pointers. And I have the Perl Cookbook, so I will look in there too. I checked the local Barnes and Noble, and two Borders stores. No dice. Thanks to all for the help. -- Jonathan On 16 Jul 00, at 21:49, m m wrote: > Not exactly sure why this book is out of print, > "but its available online through the O'Reilly Open > Books Project". > http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/webclient/ch01.html > > And I think I saw a copy of it in my local Barnes and > Noble, so you might wanna try your local bookstore. > > > >I wanted to use mod_perl with the LWP modules, and I > >was > >recommended the Pelican book, "Web Client Programming > >with > >Perl".

Why is this book out of print?
I wanted to use mod_perl with the LWP modules, and I was recommended the Pelican book, "Web Client Programming with Perl". I went looking for it and it is out of print. Has another book replaced it in the O'Reilly library? It seems like it has not lost its relevance. A friend I know who has it says that it is exactly what I need. Can anyone answer this, and/or point me in the right direction? Thanks, Jonathan
