Re^3: ExtUtils::MakeMaker, APR::UUID or Perl problem?

That sounds right about it being a more global problem. One place that something specific to openbsd arises is in APR.pm, in defining the dl_load_flags sub. I'm not sure of the background behind this - probably someone on the modperl mailing list would be able to help.

Is this Perl built with ithreads support? If so, the comment in README.openbsd of the perl sources about needing to upgrade to Perl 5.8.7 may be relevant.

Assuming I'm reading this correctly, it doesn't look like thread-enabled: test:~$ perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 6) configuration: Platform: osname=openbsd, osvers=3.8, archname=i386-openbsd uname='openbsd' config_args='-dsE -Dopenbsd_distribution=defined' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultipl +icity=undef useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Even stranger. If I save a copy of that APR.pm into the dists lib and do perl -Ilib Makefile.PL, I still get a 0 byte Makefile. Now, if I add this to that APR.pm: `BEGIN {warn 'using custom APR'};` [download] and rerun perl -Ilib Makefile.PL, I get the correct full Makefile. Removing that BEIGN statement make the Makefile 0 bytes again. If I comment out the line: `# sub dl_load_flags { DL_GLOBAL }` I still get an empty Makefile. There be demons in there.

He he. I can't wait to see what the hell the answer to all of this mess is. If I put this in my Makefile.PL `print 'foo';` [download] My Makefile gets created. So, it seems to point to an APR/XS I/O buffering issue outside of MP.	[reply] [d/l]

Does something equally perplexing solve the problems with the sqlite tests?	[reply]
