Hello everyone,

I'm using FreeBSD 3-STABLE, mod_perl 1.22, Apache 1.3.12, and
HTML::Embperl 1.3b2 on an x86 machine. I'm a newbie trying to get
Apache::Session to work (through HTML::Embperl). This is part of my
startup.pl:

%%%%%
use constant DB_INFO => 'DBI:Pg:dbname=template1';

BEGIN {
$ENV{EMBPERL_SESSION_CLASSES} = 'DBIStore SysVSemaphoreLocker';
$ENV{EMBPERL_SESSION_ARGS} = 'Datasource=' . DB_INFO;
}
%%%%%

When I try to access a simple HTML::Embperl using %mdat or %udat, I get
the following error:

[5596]ERR: 24: Line 10: Error in Perl code: No space left on device at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/Session/SysVSemaphoreLocker.pm line 63.

The output of 'ipcs -as' is as follows:

Semaphores:
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NSEMS OTIME CTIME
s 65536 5432014 --rw------- postgres postgres postgres postgres 16no-entry 5:49:28
s 65537 5432015 --rw------- postgres postgres postgres postgres 16no-entry 5:49:28

Apache is running as user 'nobody', group 'nobody'.

A similar thread was mentioned before on the modperl list (http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/spaygelthang/200003142101.NAA14415@veda.horvitznewspapers.net), but no one responded. That poster was trying to use Apache::Session with
SysVSemaphoreLocker and OpenBSD.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to allow Apache::Session to create
semaphores? How would I do that?

TIA
