You need a

LoadModule embperl_module /path/to/Embperl.so

(I am not sure if AIX uses .so for dynamic libraries, so maybe you have to
change the extention)

Gerald

P.S. You might want to read README.v2 which shows what have been changed
from Embperl 1.x to 2.x

P.S.2. Embperl 1.3.x is not supported anymore and will not work with Apache
2.x

The make test did not work - but I did not install the perl prereqs
needed for the test suite.

Duh, I had not added the LoadModule for Embperl, only the modperl one. I
added this, and now attempting to start the webserver, I get error:

=> ./apachectl_dia start
Syntax error on line 53 of /usr/HTTPServer/conf/DIA/httpd.conf:
Can't locate API module structure `embperl_module' in file
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/auto/Embperl/Embperl
.so: Function not implemented (embperl_module)

Line 53 is my LoadModule statement:
LoadModule embperl_module
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/auto/Embperl/Embperl
.so


Running nm on Embperl.so shows:

=> nm ./Embperl.so | grep embperl_module
embperl_module D 83448 56
embperl_module d 114844 4


Another piece of info on this: I have the AIX compiler on one machine
only, so I made all there and tarred up and copied over all the modperl
and embperl files. The system I compiled on is a match as far as the
AIX, IHS and perl versions, and the IHS and perl directory paths go.

Thanks, Susan

It should be no problem that your compiler is on a different machine.

I never have used AIX, I only know that the compiler/linker works different
than on other Unix systems.

I think there is some export file which contains the symbols nessarry, but I
don't know exactly.

We would need somebody who has more knowledge of the build process on AIX

Someone suggested that what I need is HTML::Embperl so I tried to make
that. The perl Makefile.PL errors out on:

...
...
+ Load dynamic module mod_dir.c
(/usr/HTTPServer/modules/mod_dir.so)
+ mod_perl was build with USE_DSO
Can't locate Apache/src.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at
Makefile.PL line 861, <STDIN> line 6

But Apache/src.pm is in mod-perl1.29 and I have already installed
mod_perl2.0.2. Is the idea of installing HTML::Embperl a red herring,
can you tell me? Or have I got some confusion here between apache and
apache2?

Thanks. This is my last try here, after this I will have to go to the
developers and they can go to IBM for assistance.

Susan

Gerald,
Are you aware that there have been successful AIX/IHS 2/Embperl
installations? Or not? That would be a good basic thing to know.

For Embperl 1.3 is works, for Embperl 2 I am not aware of any working

Most of it will work unchanged, but there a few little tweaks you might have
to do, depending on how the application is written.

The changes you might have to do, are small, so also somebody with little
knowlegde of Perl should be able to do so.

In case this is an option for you, we can also make these changes for you as
consulting work.

Apache::src gives informations about the build flags from mod_perl 1. In
mod_perl these informations are taken from Apache2::BuildConfig. An object
of Apache2::BuildConfig should normaly exist in $mp2cfg, so Apache::src is
not used for mod_perl 2.

Both modules are used to determinate the ldflags and other build flags.

Note: Embperl 1.3.x does not work with Apache 2 at all, you need to use
Embperl 2

Gerald,

I have given up for the time being at least on the attempt to configure
aix52, ibm httpserver apache2, modperl2 and embperl2. We got the empperl
DSO installed finally, but the modperl just core dumps when I send a
request to the webserver. We've decided to attempt the hopefully easier
job of building this on the apache1 version of the ibm httpserver.

The IBM httpserver apache1 version is 1.3.28.1. I made and installed
modperl 1.0 without any apparent issue. I am trying to make
HTML::Embperl 1.3.26 and get the following errors. I am using perl
5.6.1 for this, since it's closest to the installation that I have to
migrate to this new platform.

Ok, let me know how it goes on.

Could you send me your Embperl.c ?

Seems like you hit a bug in Perl's xsubpp which converts the XS file to the
C file.

Try to replace the typemap file in the Embperl distribution with the
attached file. This hopefully should not hit the bug

Gerald,
Thanks much for the typemap, the HTML-Embperl made ok with that. We
installed and now we get a seg fault just running configtest as long as
the "PerlModule HTML::Embperl;" statement is in the httpd.conf. We are
looking into that now.

Thanks for your help and I hope we will report final success soon.

Susan

Now it's getting fun.
Here's where I've gotten to, and am kind of stuck.
Although I don't know how much your shared library linker
expertise goes, but I thought I'd ask.
Either I'm way way off the mark or here's what's happening:

When IHS parses httpd.conf it gets to the HTML:Embperl (we're
working with 1.3* here) and tries to load it and httpd blows up.
I tracked it down to this: dXSARGS;
Then I learned what XS is.
You put MODULE = HTML::Embperl PACKAGE = HTML::Embperl
PREFIX = embperl_
in Embperl.xs and all sorts of stuff is generated by the
precompiler.
So I dug. One macro leads to another and so on until I got to
this:
SV **sp = PL_stack_sp;
And that blows up with a segfault.
PL_stack_sp is a pointer to a struct in libperl.so
Can't even resolve the pointer. So I starting thinking linker.
Then I started thinking that there wasn't much I can do about it
except go hunting around for weird aix linker options. (Many a wise
developer has said bad things to me about the aix linker.)
The only other thought I had was to see if it was them or me, so
I added a char *globalvar to Embperl.c and to mod_perl.c, added the
export, rebuilt both ran again.
Embperl.c can find the one in Embperl.c but blows up the same
way when it tries to get the variable reference in mod_perl.c. Not good.
I had one more thought: If I get a chance, which I probably
won't, I am going to try the whole shebang on 4.3.3 and see if that
helps. I can't see how whatever they did different between apache, and
IHS would cause the linker to go wonky like that. But I can see an OS
level change doing that.

The other direction I went in for a little while, was just
trying mod_perl. It would seem that it loads okay, but it doesn't run
either.
It dies here: perl_header_parser(0x20141a40), line 1017 in
"mod_perl.c"
which is: PERL_CALLBACK("PerlInitHandler",
cld->PerlInitHandler);
Great. More macros.
Haven't had a chance to chase this one down, but I'm betting
it's the same linker weirdness.
So my next thing is to try 4.3.3 and see if that helps or causes
any change.

I wonder if anybody has even certified IHS to run on 5.2, maybe
that's a problem in itself.

If this rant has provoked any thought or insight, please, do
tell.

I would suggest to first get mod_perl working. For this go to the mod_perl
mailing list and ask your questions there, because there are much more
mod_perl users, then Embperl users, so there is a higher chance that somebody
had run into this same linker trouble already, and maybe solved it...

Gerald

P.S. Please keep us up to date if you made any progress.
