in reply to Template Toolkit breaks under mod_perl2?

I'm sorry, but TT2 doesn't have much to do with mod_perl. Maybe you're thinking of Apache::Template?
Before I start bugging the author of TT2, does anybody know of a work-around? I tried to apply the changes to the mod_perl2 API to various TT2-modules, but now things as fundamental as XSLoader and Data::Dumper have stopped working.
Looks like you have bigger problems, maybe if you could report some error messages we could help you diagnose the problem better :/

    I have re-installed Apache+modperl2 and Perl.

    I got Perl working again. Ordinary modperl works as well (a simple "Hello World" page worked).

    TT2 however remains stubborn.

    Template::Service::Apache tries to use Apache2::Request, which tries to use APR::Request::Param and this gives the following error:

    Can't load 'x:/webserver/Perl/site/lib/auto/APR/Request/Apache2/Apache2.dll' for module APR::Request::Apache2: load_file:The specified module could not be found at x:/webserver/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at x:/webserver/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/Request.pm line 3

    Compilation failed in require at x:/webserver/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/Request.pm line 3.

    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at x:/webserver/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/Request.pm line 3.

    Compilation failed in require at X:\webserver\Perl\site\lib\Template\Service\Apache.pm line 50.

    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at X:\webserver\Perl\site\lib\Template\Service\Apache.pm line 50.

    The strange thing is that x:/webserver/Perl/site/lib/auto/APR/Request/Apache2/Apache2.dll is sitting right there! Only Dynaloader seems to have a problem with finding it.

      Its probably something Apache2.dll is trying to load that's not in your path. Try to view Apache2.dll with dependency walker, you'll see a list of dll's it needs. If you check the Application Log in Event Viewer the actual name of the module will probably be revealed.

        This Dependency Walker is a nifty piece of gear!

        It appeared that the mod_perl and mod_apreq2 modules were not in my PATH and therefore could not be found by Apache2.dll

        Thanks for the good pointer. I will now see if amending the PATH will solve the problem.

    You are right, it is Apache::Template that is the problem, but as it is part of TT2, I used TT2 in a more general sense.
