[rt-users] apache can't locate Symbol/Global/Name.pm

[Nick Price]

Hi Kevin

I used the perl that was already installed on the system
But I did update Symbol:Global:Name with cpan   to version 0.04

How do I check to see if my RT perl and mod_perl are the same

Nick

When upgrading to 4.2.0, did you use the system perl or install a custom
perl?

That's not really the purview of a README, that's usually unix permissions
or web server configuration.  Symbol::Global::Name can be used in non-RT
contexts.

Assuming your RT perl and mod_perl perl are the same, the usual next step is
to check that the web server can read the file Symbol/Global/Name.pm found
in one of the paths referenced in the error message you truncated.
