[pm-h] Windows Shebang

[Fraser Baker]

Well, on what little I have running, mod_perl serves up the pages much faster. So I like that and the answer is I don't know.

Right now, I feel the issue is with encoding. I have applied an Apache directive to use UTF-8 but that made no difference.

  Bottom line if you're planning on using your production on Linux without modperl, it is dangerous for you to do modperl during development. You're effectively developing oranges and using them as apples in production. Do you plan to convert your production to modperl?

    Thanks Todd, but I am now knee deep in this conversion. Problems remain and looking at this error message

    [Sat Feb 01 11:40:22 2014] [error] Undefined subroutine &ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::D_3a_www_wc_2dadmin_2ecom_cgi_2dbin_minda_admin_departments_cam_2ecgi::GetCookies called at D:/www/wc-admin.com/cgi-bin/minda/admin_departments_cam.cgi line 12.\n

    I am thinking that there is an issue with the encoding. I would have thought that _3a should have been written as %3a and that the lone underscores should be written as a slash. Anyone concur? I have added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
    to the head of the document. No change.

    Should this be managed in Apache? If so, how?

    I’ll be honest. I’d not wish mod perl on you. I suspect an alternate and more easily solution is to find a way to get .cgi files to be set to always run a binary. At least way back when that was an option in apache config files. If we can prod Mr. Lightsey hard enough, he can probably answer that question.

      As always, it is a learning experience that shows how little I really know about Perl, but I am surprised that no one piped up saying that to achieve my goal, I needed to be running mod_perl.

      Anyway mod_perl is now running and I am up against another issue. I have really tried hard to resolve it but I am stumped. The Apache error is

      It looks to me that the mod_perl path to GetCookies is incomplete. OK, what do I need to do to complete it? GetCookies is in one of my own libraries. I have several of my own libraries, so resolving this should lead to a resolution to my other "Undefined subroutine" issues.

        I'm afraid I know next to nothing about mod_perl.

        I checked and my scripts run with or without that
        shebang you supply or any other shebang.  My build
        is from ActiveState.

            Thanks.

            That is what I have been led to believe, but when I remove the "Windows" shebang from the first line, which is

            #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe

            the script fails.

            The path to Perl is OK. I linked *.cgi file types to Perl.exe. What else do I need to do or not do?
