I was doing some routine things with my httpd config today (adding some rewrite rules and auth stuff for a new site), that had nothing to do with any of my mason directories, and at one point restarted the server and failed. From the error_log:
[Sun May 15 11:09:27 2011] [error] Global symbol "%fglob" requires explicit package name at /usr/share/perl5/base.pm line 22.\nGlobal symbol "%vglob" requires explicit package name at /usr/share/perl5/base.pm line 28.\nCompilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/Plugin/Context.pm line 8.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/Plugin/Context.pm line 8.\nCompilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/Request.pm line 40. \nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/Request.pm line 40.\nCompilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line 49. \nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm line 49.\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 2.\n I've had to remove "perl-HTML-Mason.conf" and the other conf files for mason locations. These are the only places mason is referred to and the mtime on them is more than a month ago. This is a development server that gets restarted very frequently, so this is not due to some configuration change in the mason related conf files. I did try returning everything to it's previous state (including putting mason back in), so that I could check the new stuff a bit at a time (eg, I'm now using auth_digest, which I wasn't loading before), but that did not make any difference. Making this really inexplicable. Mod_perl and directories handled by other perl modules are still fine. Anyone know what's up with that error? MK -- "Enthusiasm is not the enemy of the intellect."
