Anybody got a clue?

Is perl allowed to access the CGI.pm file?
Try a simple CGI script that does something like:
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
unless ( open my $fh, "/path/to/CGI.pm" ) {
print "Can't open CGI.pm for reading: $!\n";
exit;
}
print "Could open CGI.pm for reading\n";
I guess you'll get the Can't one.

Yup, so in short: your CGI script is running as a user who has no
permission to read CGI.pm which means that perl can't open the module to
use it.

Everything is fine, except under Apache. CGI.pm is 444, or a+r. |

Yup, so in short: your CGI script is running as a user who has no
permission to read CGI.pm which means that perl can't open the module to
use it.

In httpd.conf both User and Group are apache by default, and I changed it to
root, nobody, ermeyers, and nothing seemed to matter. Nice problem huh? |

I believe so, but it's okay for a one-timer, because root is a close |
personal friend of himself. It's back to apache, right now, and I'll use
ps to verify the ug next time I try changing it.
Thanks,

But running your scripts as root is certainly not a solution you should
consider. I wouldn't try it, not even on a stand alone box for a one-timer
:-D

Perl can do that for you as well.

I have the latest $CGI::VERSION='3.20';
I'll concentrate on the mod_perl issue #1.

If you get "cannot open shared object file: Permission denied",
everything is most definitely not fine. "strace" would be another
tool which might show some additional information on where the
opening of libperl.so fails.
Btw, do you have SELinux, or some other security enchancements
activated? Do you perhaps run Apache chrooted, and the chroot
environment does not include perl installation?

sounds as though you've screwed up permissions, since all Perl modules and

I'll look as you've suggested. Good ideas Juha! For everyone else out
there, Perl works just fine outside of trying to run Perl-CGI scripts under
Apache 2.0, or my other problem of trying to load mod_perl2. The
permissions and everthing else are just fine. I'm setup very standard.
I found the problem with not being able to use modules with my static build
of perl. It won't load anything dynamically, because that's how I got a
static build, because I turned off dynamic loading. I'd have to build it
by linking-in every module that I'd want to use in a CGI program. Nope.
Thanks,
Eric
