Hi,
I am new to PERL and RT so I would appreciate any help possible about this
matter. I have a system with performance problems and I have looked into the
excellent suggestions on this list as setting MaxRequestPerChild, etc. Now I
have discoverd that I am running Mason 1.02. One of the issues about
improving performance was to use Mason 1.05, 1.12, or 1.1201. Now is my
stupid quiestion: Could I use CPAN to upgrade Mason and then just restart my
Apache server, or do I need another make and ‘make install’ ?

I think you misinterpreted something I wrote. Mason 1.05 is faster than
Mason 1.10+ (including the latest and greatest, 1.13). However, Mason
1.05 is probably very little different from any Mason release between 0.85
and 1.05.
1.05 contains some minor bugfixes compared to 1.02, but nothing that is
likely to affect RT, to the best of my knowledge.
1.10+ contains quite a number of cool new features, but these are only of
interest to people actively developing applications that use Mason. So
while Jesse may want to explore new Mason features in the future as he
works on RT, it is not all that likely that RT users will find a need for
the newer versions of Mason, unless they are heavily customizing RT
themselves.
In other words, I would suggest not upgrading. It ain’t broke and all
that.

As I found out the hard way on my third attempt to get RT running on
my OSX box, “make fixdeps” will happily install the latest Mason for
you. This is a change in the last couple of weeks as far as I can
remember. It seems this is not an issue with the release version of
RT, and is not mentioned in the bundled documents. If your installing
one of the dev builds it’s another story. This is mentioned in the
online documents, but not the bundled ones. I have posted about Mason
1.1 recently, but I thought I would reiterate. I am still trying to
get the stable release RT working and I am running Mason 1.1x. My
latest roadblock is with mysql refusing to build a dynamic library
(an OSX thing apparently).

OK,
I guess I dont really need to upgrade. But I am still curious about learning
some things about this, so I appreciate any answers.
When I build my rt2.14 I run “make testdeps” and it says everything is OK.
But if I understood Mark correct the system would upgrade Mason etc. into
the latest versions if I run “make fixdeps”, even though it said it was OK
when I ran “make testdeps” ? Is this the case ?
My second question is if I need to perform a new make preocedure of RT after
I have upgraded any perl module with CPAN ? Or is it sufficient to just
restart the apache webserver (it makes some kind of run-time compiling)
after the upgrade of a PERL module ?

Only if mason is not installed. If testdeps reports everything as okay,
nothing will be changed.

a restart should suffice, given the installation worked before.
