Can you please cc the mod_perl list on all future correspondence? (I
have forwarded your email to the list)

I went ahead and use 1.06 in my production setup. If you want to use
1.07, you will need to include the GlobalRequest option in your config
setup.

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_Gl obalRequest_

I'm guessing that 1.08 will pop up in November sometime after ApacheCon,
quite a bit of hacking usually gets done there.

Thanks everyone for the quick response.

Yes. We tried this fix before we had contacted you, and now I just
tried it again just to be sure I wasn't cross-eyed:

PerlOptions +GlobalRequest -SetupEnv -ParseHeaders

# Startup module sets @INC and does other initialization
PerlRequire .../foo/startup2.pl


also tried:


PerlOptions +GlobalRequest -SetupEnv -ParseHeaders
PerlModule Apache:DBI

# Startup module sets @INC and does other initialization
PerlRequire .../foo/startup2.pl


In startup2.pl, the

use Apache::DBI;

seems to trigger the failure...



Also, tried reversing the above line just to be hack sure:

PerlOptions -SetupEnv -ParseHeaders +GlobalRequest


but still get same error...

[Wed Sep 24 09:57:06 2008] [error] Global $r object is not available.
Set:\n\tPerlOptions +GlobalRequest\nin httpd.conf at /usr/lib/perl5/
site_perl/5.8.8/Apache/DBI.pm line 144.\nCompilation failed in require
at (eval 2) line 1.\n

Sounds to me like there is no other option but to rollback to a 1.06
release, unless you all think of something?

Thanks again.
