test failure w Apache 2.4, perl-5.24.0 and trunk

2016-07-22 Thread John D Groenveld
Since Steve Hay asked for trunk vs 5.24 and 2.4 reports, I gave it a whirl on Omnios/Illumos. t/filter/in_bbs_inject_header.t is my only fail with useithreads=undef perl and -with-mpm=prefork httpd. John groenv...@acm.org $ env PATH=/opt/apache24/bin:/opt/apache24/perl-5.24.0/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/

Thanks for the heads up ... will definitely put that on the roadmap. For now I will stick to 2.2 to reduce the number of things that might go wrong, but once we get stable on this version I'll look into 2.4 Bill On 7/22/2016 12:27 PM, John D Groenveld wrote: In message , William A Rowe Jr w

Sorry, with all the things we're upgrading I don't want to add the variable of experimental code into the mix. I'll just run 5.20.3 for now. Bill On 7/22/2016 12:12 AM, Steve Hay wrote: Yes, I intend to make a new mod_perl release with the fix very soon after two maint perl releases (5.22.3 /

I thought I saw somewhere the term LTS used with respect to Perl 5.24 but can't find it now... however they do push pretty hard to run the latest version: * On https://www.perl.org/get.html it says, "We recommend that you always run the latest stable version, currently 5.24.0. If you're

2016-07-22 Thread Hendrik Schumacher
I think it really depends on what the handler is doing. If it is mainly executing some db queries rewriting it in C won't make much of a difference. If the handler is doing some expensive computation it might be worth it. Before you rewrite the whole handler though you should look at the option

yes I totally agree with you, modperl is also perl, it has the big advantage of using CPAN. for example, we have used these modules in the project, Data::Validate::Domain Data::Validate::Email Data::Validate::IP I don't think they are easy to port into C language. So perl is great, modperl is

Yes, I intend to make a new mod_perl release with the fix very soon after two maint perl releases (5.22.3 / 5.24.1) are done. Sorry this fix has languished so long. In the meantime, if you're able to grab the latest SVN source and try it then that would be a great help: It should be good to go, bu
