I'm trying to set up mod_perl on an Apache server of mine. This is part of my httpd.conf:
Code:
<Directory /srv/http/testing>
SetHandler perl-script
Options ExecCGI
PerlSendHeader On
allow from all
</Directory>
And this is the file I'm trying to serve (perltest.pl):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $response = shift;
$response->content_type("text/plain;charset=UTF-8");
$response->print("It worked!");
However, Apache just serves the file as plain text. Attempts to use a PerlModule just fail, either the server does not start or it gives a HTTP 500 when trying to serve the page.
The operating system is Arch Linux ARM, the server is Apache 2.2.23 and Perl is version 5.16.2. In /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/ModPerl there are the following modules: BuildMM.pm, CScan.pm, MethodLookup.pm, RegistryBB.pm, StructureMap.pm, WrapXS.pm,
BuildOptions.pm, FunctionMap.pm, MM.pm, RegistryCooker.pm, TestReport.pm, Code.pm, Global.pm, ParseSource.pm, RegistryLoader.pm, TestRun.pm, Config.pm, Manifest.pm, PerlRun.pm, Registry.pm, TypeMap.pm, Const.pm, MapUtil.pm, PerlRunPrefork.pm, RegistryPrefork.pm, Util.pm
I've seen lots of mod_perl tutorials and they all seem to tell me different things. I want to learn Perl and try some alternatives to PHP. Am I making a bad choice with mod_perl? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks.
