Hi all, my hand was forced tonight to upgrade perl to try and get rid of all
the segfaults with apache and mod_perl. After upgradeing from 5.6.0 to 5.6.1
Im getting all sorts of module errors. Ive solved some of them but im stuck
on this one.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 550 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Can’t locate object method “require_version” via package “DBI” at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/Apache/DBI.pm line 9.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

It looks like Im close but Im ruinning out of ideas. This is for the ticket
sustem for my company that gets about 1000 emails a day. I have to have this
up by morning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Chris Huff

something like
perl -MCPAN -e ‘install DBI’
might help…

You need to rebuild mod_perl against your new perl version.

OMG! Thank you and Harald for your help. Its working. In retrospect it seems
a fairly obvious thing to do. I guess i was hoping for the perl upgrade to
be easy. I hope this thread can help others.From: ‘Phil Homewood’ [mailto:pdh@snapgear.com]
