The example configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf for /perl-status in 1.99_09-8 doesn't work; Apache::Status seems to need Apache::compat and the documentation at http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache/Status.html uses the modperl handler instead of perl-script. Additionally, with the modperl handler, "PerlOptions +GlobalRequest" seems to be needed. Patch follows.
Created attachment 94279 [details] Fix for /perl-status config
I've added the PerlModule Apache::compat line to perl.conf, but I left the other two out. The other example in the file uses the perl-script handler, so for consistency I've left the status example using it too, and if you do change it to modperl then it's pretty obvious that you need "PerlOptions +GlobalRequest". Does this seem reasonable?
Yes, I noticed that the perl-script / no PerlOptions +GlobalRequest combination works too. Sounds ok to me. I'm not sure what to do with the status of this bug so reassigning... :)
Reassigning is cool; I'll close it when I've built the new package...
