Package: piwi Version: 0.8+20041206-3 Severity: important Hi, as far as I can tell, piwi works as a cgi script here. To confirm that, I mucked with my /var/lib/dpkg/status, removed libapache-dbi-perl and libapache-mod-perl packages, restarted Apache and piwi still works. The dependency on libapache-dbi-perl seems superfluous.
What's more confusing, the provided /etc/piwi/httpd.conf sets up a cgi-handler for .pl files in piwi directory, but then loads a PerlModule (which AFAIK will not be used at all in a cgi). This looks Just Plain Wrong. A clean cgi-based default config looks fine as a solution: just remove the PerlModule line and replace libapache-dbi-perl dependency with libdbi-perl. If you want to stick with the mod_perl alternative, you could provide another httpd.conf (in doc/piwi/examples/?) with a clean mod_perl configuration (no cgi-handler stuff), and replace the dependency with "libdbi-perl | libapache-dbi-perl". I think there's no need to depend on mod_perl (and friends) if piwi can work without it.
