Re: DBI and CGI qw(-compile) order causes seg fault

Generally Segmentation fault happens when executes some buggy C or XC code.
Try to use CoreDumpDirectory directive in your httpd.conf file:

    CoreDumpDirectory /blah/blah/core
[download]

for configure Apache to dump core file to a specific directory and then use a debugger to find out a C function which is causing the problem.
And maybe more efficient use Apache::DBI for access to a database (It's only my opinion. mod_perl include a lot of useful modules: Apache::File, Apache::DBI etc and if you use mod_perl I think will be better use Apache modules for good performance).
Good like!

Hi, Thanks for the CoreDumpDirectory hint. I was giving a mimimal case that repeatably caused the issue. The original case was caused by trying to disable Apache::DBI whilst upgrading it. `use Apache::DBI; use CGI qw(-compile); use XXXX;` [download] where XXXX.pm has :- `use DBI;` [download] Hope that clears things up.
