Software Error

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

I am trying to setup an image board with Apache2.0, ActivePerl, and Kareha. I can't figure out what's wrong with these lines though

Software error:




password at config_defaults.pl line 8.
line 8 = die S_NOADMIN unless(defined &ADMIN_PASS);

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at config_defaults.pl line 133. 
line 133 = }

Compilation failed in require at H:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2
+/htdocs/kareha.pl line 13.
line 13 = BEGIN { require 'config_defaults.pl'; }

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at H:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apa
+che2/htdocs/kareha.pl line 13.

Update Ok I fixed the first one but now Ive got this.

Software error:

Bareword "S_NOADMIN" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at config_
+defaults.pl line 8.
Bareword "S_NOSECRET" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at config
+_defaults.pl line 9.

Did you read and try to understand the messages? Believe it or not, all that stuff you're seeing is actually there to help you. Take the time to read it a few times and you might start to see a pattern. TIP: I'd start with the easy one, line 13 of kareha.pl —Brad "The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men." George Eliot	[reply]

Ok I fixed the first one but now Ive got this Which first one? This is your first (and until now) only post. Did you "recycle" your original post? That could explain why some of the answers now do not seem to make sense anymore. `BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at H:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/kareha.pl line 13.` The Perlmonks are good, but they are not psychic. Showing us a relevant piece of your program will surely help in finding the reason of this error. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

Yes, indeed, this is 100% post-consumer content. Via original content of 757056: I am trying to setup an image board with Apache2.0, ActivePerl, and Ka +reha. I can't figure out what's wrong with these lines though Software error: password at config_defaults.pl line 8. line 8 = die S_NOADMIN unless(defined &ADMIN_PASS); BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at config_defaults.pl line 133. line 133 = } Compilation failed in require at H:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2 +/htdocs/kareha.pl line 13. line 13 = BEGIN { require 'config_defaults.pl'; } BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at H:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apa +che2/htdocs/kareha.pl line 13.

Wish we had more of the code to see, but I'd actually do it in reverse (The last error is a chain-reaction from the first) Apparently `&ADMIN_PASS` is not defined. I get the impression it's a subroutine that's supposed to return something - why isn't it? Does it not exist?	[reply] [d/l]

`Bareword "S_NOADMIN" not allowed while "strict subs" in use Bareword "S_NOSECRET" not allowed while "strict subs" in use` [download] These errors indicate `S_NOADMIN` and `S_NOSECRET` are not known to be constants or subs at the time of their compilation. Maybe they need to be imported?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
