Hello,
I'm currently using the following configuration:
- Perl 5.8.4.810 from Activestate
- Apache 2.0.52 installed from the MSI package
- mod_perl 1.99_17 installed with ppm from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca
All these 3 packages are frehsly installed and I did no other additions.
After configuring mod_perl in http.conf I tried the following:
- preload Win32::OLE with a 'use Win32::OLE' in the mod_perl startup script:
=> Apache2 refuses to start.
- preload Win32::OLE with a PerlModule Win32::OLE' directive in http.conf:
=> Apache2 still refuses to start
What's strange is that CGI scripts that use Win32::OLE
under mod_perl in an identical server configuration run
successfully!
I see the same problem when trying to use Win32::OLE in a
startup script (with no error messages recorded - just a
popup box saying that Apache encountered a problem when
trying to start). This will require some debugging, but just
to confirm - if you take out Win32::OLE from your startup
script, but use it in a location handled by
ModPerl::Registry, are there any problems?
Hello
Taking Win32::OLE out of the startup script solves the startup problem.
I have used Win32::OLE in locations handled by ModPerl::Registry without any
problems already.
This raises another question:
Is there a performance/memory issue regarding preloading a perl module at
startup vs. loading it in ModPerl::Registry perl scripts ?
Thanks for your help
