Re: [users@httpd] trying to debug a mod_perl app

I notice your BML.pm is composed of several packages. I see at least BML::Request and Apache::BML and maybe some others in whatever you've truncated.

I guess I'd suggest tracking down where exactly your BML.pm file is used by either some apache configuration file or some mod_perl or cgi application and what packages from it are used.

hi...

i hope this is the right place to turn to!!

i have mod_perl installed on an apache1.3.33/mod_perl1.29/FC3 setup.

i'm trying to track down how i can print something from a '.pm' file that's
used with an apache app that i'm testing...

my perl skill is enough to get me in trouble!!

here's the situation:

i have an application (livejournal) that uses a file, BML.pm. I'm trying to
print out information from within the file to the error_log file. I can
accomplish this via a 'print STDERR foo' in other '.bml' files that are used
by the application. the '.bml' files appear to be pretty much perl files.

the BML.pm file appears to be used by apache at startup, as when i mv the
file, apache doesn't start, so i know the file is used.
a portion of the BML.pm file is listed below.

i've searched (am searching) google to try to get a feel for what i need to
do to be able to print something from the file to the STDERR/error_log.
right now, i'm stumped/confused!!!
if the file is required by apache, does that imply that apache
runs/interprets the file during startup? if this is the case, doesn't this
also imply that i should be able to do an initial print/debug statement at
the beginning of the file to get something to show up in the error_log file.

or, is it possible that the file is required by apache to start, but isn't
used???

my current delimma is that i can't figure out a way to print anything from
the BML.pm file to the error_log file..

arrggghhh!!!
thanks

ps. i tried to talk with a few of the guys on the livejournal forums.. not
much help!!
