I know this is only peripherally related to Perl, but you guys are so friendly and knowledgeable I figured I'd ask anyway...

I've got mod_perl-1.24_01 running under Apache 1.3.19, with Perl 5.6.0. I'm running the Everything Engine and I'm getting spurious Perl errors now and then, and no one else using Everything seems familiar with them. I'm led to believe it may be my underlying configuration. Perl modules, or mod_perl - something other than Everything itself.

My question is this: is there some way that I can verify that my mod_perl has been built with the correct perl libs - i.e. the ones that are on the system? Can it be done without re-compiling Apache and mod_perl? What's the best way to go about debugging something like this? Should I just start swapping our perlmodules with older versions and see if the errors go away (they're reproducable) in some configurations? Should I just buckle down and re-compile (or actually, compile for the first time - I'm using the outofthebox RPMed versions of mod_perl and Apache right now, on a RH7.1 machine).

Danke!
