Enabling PerlLogHandler Callback Hook

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

I am setting up my Apache logs to go to a RDBMS instead of a file as I read about in Lincoln Stein's presentation. I have it working correctly by using the PerlLogHandler callback in my httpd.conf on my Win32 machine, however, I realized I compiled my httpd binary without enabling the appropriate callback. So on my linux machine when I try to start apache, I get a Invalid Command 'PerlLogHandler' error.

My question is: do I have to recompile my httpd binary to enable this callback?

Yes. Most callbacks are not enabled out of the box for either security or performance reasons, I forget which. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]
