---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIG STUFF
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- do something about FreshRestart+dso ? (vivek)
- PERL_STATIC_EXTS doesnt work with USE_APACI=1
- ldopts() spits out ccdlflags when linker is ld
- Makefile.PL should always push load_modules.pl for 'make test'
- need turn of strip of httpd during 'make install' ?
- linkage problem w/ mod_auth_dbm (-ldbm)
Config.pm New: libs='-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -ldb'

SunOS mailhost.cmc.net 5.5 Generic_103093-17 sun4m sparc sun4m
brian moore <bem@cmc.net>
- ExtUtils::Embed/ExtUtils::Liblist clash sometime w/
PERL_STATIC_EXTS, like so:
Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored:
'/opt/oracle/product/7.3.3/lib/libclient.a'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -l:libcma.sl
-Wl,-E -Wl,-B,deferred -L/usr/local/lib
/home/web/perl5/lib/site_perl/portable/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.a
/home/ etc etc ...
mark rostron <useny036@IMATION.COM>
Brian Slesinsky <bslesins@best.com>
- From: brian moore <bem@CMC.NET>
As Apacheweek reported a couple weeks ago, 'some' modules on Solaris have
problems with the mutex locking method used by 1.3b5. One of which is
mod_perl. To make it work I had to -DUSE_FCNTL_SERIALIZED_ACCEPT or
the server would never answer a request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC BUGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Apache->request($r) digs the request_rec out of $r regardless of the
type/class, e.g. Apache->request(bless {r => $r}, 'My::Apache')
- $r->finfo problem with HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
[Shane Adams <shane@viralon.com>]
- "$ENV{FOO} = 'foo'" is cleared from the %ENV array, but left in the
environ[], making it visible to subprocesses.
perl_util.c:perl_clear_env() only deletes from %ENV on purpose to
prevent other problems. need to rethink this.
- recursion triggered by internal_redirect() called by a pushed handler
[Ashish Goyal <ashishg@linux-delhi.org>]
- Gerald's report of Embperl/sub-request/print breakage
- /perl/perl-status?sig dumps core under hpux 10.20
[David-Michael.Lincke@unisg.ch]
- $r cannot use many api methods during ChildInit/ChildExit -> SEGV
- bytes_sent are not logged if header don't go through send_http_header(),
e.g CGI->header(-nph => 1, ...)
Eric Cholet <cholet@logilune.com>
- SIGALRM/flock, Lincoln Stein <lstein@cshl.org>
I often use this type of code to handle possibly blocked flocks():
local($timed_out) = 0;
local($SIG{ALRM}) = sub { $timed_out++; die "timed out"; }
alarm(5);
eval {
flock(FH,LOCK_EX);
}
alarm(0);
if ($timed_out) {
print "We timed out. Sorry.";
}
This has been working in standalone CGI scripts, but no longer works
in mod_perl. The signal handler gets called, but then the flock()
call seems to be restarted. It never exit the eval. So this is no big
deal, I just replace the blocking flock() with a poll.
- perl_config should not av_shift ARRAY refs from
%Apache::ReadConfig::
- die and AUTOLOADed DESTROY == empty $@ (Perl or mod_perl bug?)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN MODULE BUGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- can't multiple Apache::Include->virtual in a single request
- files that have been created after the server's (child?) startup are
being reported with negative age with -M test under Apache::Registry.
The workaround is to add $^T = time; at the beginning of the scripts. But
it would be much better if the Apache::Registry will do that
- Apache::Include->virtual should return run() value, not status()
- libapreq: Apache::Cookie format sync w/ CGI.pm
