vc_will_do has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks, I am new to mod_perl. I have written a startup script like this. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN   
        {
        use Bundle::Apache2 ();
        use Apache::DBI ();
        }

use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);


$dbh = Apache::DBI->connect_on_init("DBI:mysql:database=dbname;host=lo
+calhost","dbuser","dbpass",{ PrintError => 1, RaiseError => 0, AutoCo
+mmit => 1});

1;

On the line $dbh = Apache::DBI->connect_on_init, I am getting the error 

Apache.pm was not loaded
 at ./startup.pl line 18

I have mod_perl2 installed. Thanks in advance.

    I don't know much about the topic at hand, so I don't know if this will help the problem you ask about, but Bundle::Apache2 is not meant to be used. It doesn't do anything. It's purpose is to simplify the installation of multiple modules.

    I suspect you might be specifying the wrong module, loading Bundle::Apache2 where you should be loading a different one.

      When I use use Apache; or use Apache2;, Apache2 is NOT loaded. I couldn't find any Apache2.pm on CPAN :(

        The installation of mod_perl is a bit involved - you'll have to go to the mod_perl website in order to get the code and the instructions to install it.

    Don't load that Bundle file. Load Apache::DBI from your startup.pl before you load anything else. Apache.pm will be loaded automatically by mod_perl, so you don't need to load it yourself. Make sure you have the latest versions of mod_perl and Apache::DBI.

      Thanks for your time. Now my startup.pl looks like 

      
#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN
        {
        use Apache::DBI;
        }


$dbh = Apache::DBI->connect_on_init("DBI:mysql:database=dbname;host=lo
+calhost","dbuser","dbpass",{ PrintError => 1, RaiseError => 0, AutoCo
+mmit => 1});

1;

      Still have same error - "Apache.pm was not loaded". I have installed mod_perl from apache.org today and Apache::DBI from CPAN. So I thing both are latest packages.

        At the top of my startup.pl file, I have:

        BEGIN {
  use Apache();
  # ...
}

        Seems I was steering you wrong, thinking you hadn't installed mod_perl yet.

    Thanks everybody for your time. I had a version collision. I installed (from source) 2.0.3 and later our admin installed 2.0.2 of modperl :( Now I removed both and re installed 2.0.3 and works fine. Thanks to all monks :)
