Got another error.  Looks like an apache config problem?


ulimit -c unlimited; /usr/bin/perl5.18.1 /pub/apps/mod_perl/t/TEST -bugreport -verbose=0
/usr/sbin/httpd  -d /pub/apps/mod_perl/t -f /pub/apps/mod_perl/t/conf/httpd.conf -D APACHE2 -D PERL_USEITHREADS
using Apache/2.4.6 (event MPM)

waiting 300 seconds for server to start: .[Thu Feb 20 15:03:57.520565 2014] [env:warn] [pid 26673:tid 140126673885056] AH01506: PassEnv variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined

at line 1194 of /pub/apps/mod_perl/t/conf/httpd.conf I find:
             <IfModule mod_authz_host.c>
                 Order Deny,Allow
                 Deny from all
                 Allow from localhost
             </IfModule>

which is old style auth.. it should be more like:  "Require all granted", yes?

I do have a bunch of modules commented out, specifically the mod_access_compat module which when I restore it, does make the test work (woot!).

I tried to edit the file, but it must be regenerated cuz it errored out again.

So at this point, I can report:  Awesome!

Thanks,
