######################################## # external (non-mod_perl) APR:: issues # ######################################## * As mike chamberlain told me over irc, apr-ext/perlio was faling for him because of the modperl_perl_gensym not being resolved in APR/PerlIO.so. I didn't see that error since on linux by default symbols resolution is lazy and since that part of the api wasn't tested I did see the problem. On MacOSX the loading is RTLD_NOW (non-lazy) so it detects any missing symbols problems immediately. Luckily DynaLoader allows us to force the non-lazy mode by setting an env var: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1. We need to force this env variable on when building with MP_MAINTAINER=1. I suppose that it should be added to the autogenerated t/TEST and t/SMOKE. and to t/conf/modperl_extra.pl ($ENV{PERL_DL_NONLAZY}=1) so it affects the server-side as well as the client-side (normally env var aren't propogated to the server). * APR::Pool relies on interpreter management function: modperl_interp_unselect. At the moment I've worked around it by defining an empty function in APR.xs. But a cleaner solution is desirable. * modules that we need to add tests for in apr-ext: APR::IpSubnet
