[gentoo-dev] mod_perl with new perl module handling

[Dewet Diener]

Hi

I just want to cross-check with others on the list before reporting 
this as a bug, but I'm currently baffled by the following problem:

I just updated to perl-5.8.0-r12, after uninstalling the blocking 
modules and reinstalling them afterwards.  I also re-emerged 
locale-maketext-1.06, since the 1.03 distributed with perl is too old 
for RT[1].  Now, from regular command-line perl, everything works as 
intended -- RT's dependency checker reports that the installed version 
of Locale::Maketext >= 1.04.  However, trying to fire up apache2 and 
mod_perl, results in the following in my error_log:

[Fri Aug 01 14:20:40 2003] [error] Locale::Maketext version 1.04 
required--this is only version 1.03 at /usr/local/rt3/lib/RT/I18N.pm 
line 33.

This leads me to the conclusion that mod_perl is not scanning @INC in 
the correct order, as command-line perl is.  Does anyone else have a 
similar experience using mod_perl and external modules?

I have tried everything thinkable -- remerging perl, libperl, mod_perl, 
apache2, etc. etc. ad nauseum;  I even ran the libperl-rebuilder.  No 
dice :(

Also, on a side note:  How can apache2 be unmasked, without 
mod_perl-1.99*?  I'm not referring to the fact that it is probably 
still unstable, but rather that it leaves no solution for people 
running apache1 to upgrade cleanly.

Regards,
Dewet
