in reply to Help with Apache::RegistryLoader

We can't just help you based on this information.
You should at least give the following information.
- What server are you on (windows / linux / bsd)
- How is apache compiled (did you install a binary package?)
- What are the specs of the server
- Versions of your software
etc.etc.

Then you might get possible ideas to search for:
- Did you try each script separately?
- Are you referencing scripts to eachother, and are there circular references?
- Do you use strict and warnings
- Do the scripts work properly without preloading?


Please send an example of a script that doesn't preload.

    My problem is that I can not get apache::registryloader to install at all.. It hangs during install. My scripts work fine and is on a linux machine.

      You still don't give enough information about the problem, but if you can't get it to work, lets try a work-around:
      Why don't you try to use a 'startup.pl' script to compile your modules in the first apache server?
      example for apache2: 
      # in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/perl.conf:
PerlModule Apache2
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
PerlRequire /etc/apache2/startup.pl


# in /etc/apache2/startup.pl
use lib qw(/var/www/cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/modules);

use DBI;
use CGI qw(:cgi);
use File::Find;
use HTML::Template;
use OwnModulesHere;


 print STDERR "Pre-loading HTML Templates...\n";
 if (1) {
 find(
   sub {
   return unless /\.tmpl$/;
   HTML::Template->new(
     filename => "$File::Find::dir/$_",
     cache => 1,
   );
 },

   '/var/www/TemplatesFolder', 
   );
 }

        well tried using use lib in my startup.pl file. but doesn't seem to be doing anything. 

        use CGI ();
use Image::Size ();
use Imager ();
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
CGI->compile(':all');

use lib ("cgi-bin/beta.pl");
use lib ("cgi-bin/betaupload.pl");

BEGIN {
    unshift(@INC, '/var/www/perl');
}

1;

      Did you install mod_perl? If so, you already have Apache::RegistryLoader. It comes with mod_perl.

      Define "Install".

      Do you mean the initial install (from CPAN presumably) or the "working" install done by running Apache2?
