right ... I have no idea what happened to the last four messages I sent
This is the first one I've received from me ... argh

This is a third attempt at posting the following. If you've received the
other two I sincerely apologise, however I've not seen them turn up in
the archives for the list so I think they just vanished ... anyway,
here goes nothing:

|Hi all ... I've just installed RT 3.2.3 onto a NetBSD 2.0.2 system with
|Perl 5.8.6, PostgreSQL 7.4.7, Apache 1.3.33 and mod_perl 1.29 ... and a
|whole heap of Perl modules whose version numbers I'll list iff we need
|them ... :)
|
|Anyway, I have PostgreSQL running OK and have initialised the RT3
|database without problems. Apache seems to be running HTML::Mason OK,
|however I'm stuck because of what appear to be errors with the code in
|index.html:
|
||Error during compilation of /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html:
||Global symbol "%session" requires explicit package name at /usr/pkg/share/rt3/html/index.html line 101.

|
|My Apache config is pretty standard apart from adding the following:
|
|(as recommended in the install notes for mod_perl):
|
|LoadModule perl_module lib/httpd/mod_perl.so
|<Files ~ "\.pl$">
|   PerlHandler         Apache::Registry
|   PerlSendHeader      On
|   SetHandler          perl-script
|   Options             +ExecCGI
|</Files>
|
|(as recommended in the install notes for HTML::Mason):
|
|<Location />
|   SetHandler perl-script
|   PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
|</Location>
|
|... does anyone have any clues as to where I could look for the problem?
