Re: OT: secure mod_perl enabled apache on MacOSX 10.1
Joe, The problem is that Apple has made some strange changes to the way shared libraries are linked. I'm not very conversant in the details, but there are some people on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list that have discussed it. Unfortunately, Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie don't define any tests, so a user can install them and think they're perfectly fine, but they fail pretty spectacularly when you try to use them. =( Joe Schaefer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John Siracusa [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: P.S.- d) Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie still can't be loaded simultaneously! :( Why not? Does it work OK with a statically-linked mod_perl? -- Joe Schaefer

OT: secure mod_perl enabled apache on MacOSX 10.1
I suppose this is slightly off-topic for both lists I'm posting to, but I don't know of a better place to ask ... I've been able to build a mod_perl enabled apache (not DSO) for Mac OS X 10.1 and it seems to work fine. Now I'd like to include the apple_hfs_module or hfs_apple_module that Apple included as a DSO in the standard install to take care of some security issues related to the case-insensitivity of the HFS+ file system. Can anybody tell me how to do this? I've never used DSO's before. Are there other things Apple has included beyond the standard apache distribution?
