opensourcer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i have an perl application build with the perl (path:/usr/bin/perl, version:5.8.8). and i have mod_perl build with the perl (path:/home/source/bin/perl, version:5.8.0). Now when i try to run a application module through mod_perl, down below is the sample snippet of the application module.
package GSOURCE; use Apache2::RequestRec (); use Apache2::Const -compile =>'OK'; BEGIN { require q(/home/sourcer/mysoftware/config/config.pm);} use DB::SQL; #* use UI::Engine; #* sub handler { $| = 1; my $r = shift; $r->content_type("text/plain"); my ($theOID) = shift @ARGV; UI::Engine($arg1, $theOID); return Apache2::0K; } 1;
error_log Can't load '/home/sourcer/appz/lib/linux/2.4.21-15.0.2.elsmp/auto/Even +t/Event.so' for module Event: /home/sourcer/appz/lib/linux/2.4.21-15. +0.2.elsmp/auto/Event/Event.so: cannot open shared object file: No suc +h file or directory at /home/sourcer/perl/lib/5.8.8/i686-linux/DynaLo +ader.pm line 230. ...... ---------------------------
i can't install mod_perl/compile the mod_perl using /usr/bin/perl. Is there any way of running the application module.

    Suggest you find the file Event.so, and make sure that the directory it is in is in Apache's LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
