Hi list, I'm trying to get perl threading working on our webserver (which runs potato), but it doesn't exactly go smooth.
I have installed perl-5.005-thread, and this by itself is useable, but when trying to use Thread; with /usr/bin/perl, Thread can not be found (duh, it is in i386-linux-thread, and not i386-linux). The other way around, /usr/bin/perl-thread can't find DBI.pm with use DBI;, which is quite essential for what we want to do. I have hackishly tried to just copy modules over from /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux to /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux-thread. I also tried a quick attempt at recompiling the packages, but to do this right isn't easy as it seems, I managed to mess up :) Now I wonder if anyone else tried to get perl threading working in a useful way (i.e., with the use of other modules). Is this at all possible ? With standard packages ? On Potato ? If anyone could help out, I'd be grateful. Wouter van Heyst
