[Slackbuilds-users] Upgraded to -14.1: Cannot Run Perl App in Apache

[Rich Shepard]

   Sunday, I upgraded my desktop server/workstation to -14.1. The only
application that I cannot get running is my business accounting software
(Ledger123; an improved SQL-Ledger). After a day of futzing, searching the
Web, and advice from folks on the local linux mail list I learned that I
cannot yet run a perl application in httpd-2.4.6, even with ponce's mod_perl
from his svn repository.

   So, I removed httpd-2.4.6 and installed httpd-2.2.25 from -13.37 patches.
When I tried building mod_perl-2.0.6 from SBo it failed with these errors:

modperl_perl.c: In function 'modperl_perl_init_ids':
modperl_perl.c:105:5: error: 'PL_uid' undeclared (first use in this function)
      PL_uid  = ids->uid;
modperl_perl.c:105:5: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
modperl_perl.c:106:5: error: 'PL_euid' undeclared (first use in this function)
      PL_euid = ids->euid;

      PL_gid  = ids->gid;
modperl_perl.c:108:5: error: 'PL_egid' undeclared (first use in this function)
      PL_egid = ids->egid;

          PL_rehash_seed     = MP_init_hash_seed;
modperl_perl.c:271:9: error: 'PL_rehash_seed_set' undeclared (first use in this function)
          PL_rehash_seed_set = MP_init_hash_seed_set;
make[1]: *** [modperl_perl.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory /tmp/SBo/mod_perl-2.0.6/src/modules/perl'
make: *** [modperl_lib] Error 2

   The accounting software is a critical application for me and I would be
grateful for assistance in getting a working httpd/mod_perl combination so I
can run it.

TIA,
