Hi, On Debian linux, fter apt-get upgrade which fetched 1.27-7 of libapache-mod-perl, the Apache server does not start anymore (just gets Segmentation fault). This happens only when the conf file tells it to load perlmod:
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so Here's the output from gdb: Starting program: /usr/sbin/apache (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 16384 (LWP 2579)] (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
