Re: Apache/mod_perl2 : "failed to resolve handler"

[ikegami]

This is not the appropriate place for mod_perl support. Check mod_perl's Getting Help.

I do have a quick comment and possible solution:

I don't think "traditional CGI" pays any attention to PerlSwitches, so it's no surprise it doesn't know about the new paths.

What's the package used in Hello.pm? It should be package pl::Hello.

In addition to the above, try loading your module before using it as a handler. This will cause Apache to not even start if there are problems with it and thus catch your problem (with a better error message) earlier.

  PerlModule pl::Hello

or in a startup.pl

  use pl::Hello;

Changing the package line in Hello.pm from Hello to pl::Hello fixed it. Thanks.

For the record, I listed the differences between the CGI script's @INC path and modperl's @INC path to demonstrate that the PerlSwitches directive worked; e.g., that this was not a problem with @INC not seeing /usr/local/apache2/pl. That wasn't my question; sorry if that was unclear.

Update:
ikegami, can you clarify your post? Was there some specific mod_perl related link you wanted me to see? You posted a search result for 'getting help'. I don't get what you're trying to tell me.

Here's the link to mod_perl's Getting Help that ikegami meant.
