DESCRIPTION

This is the Catalyst engine specialized for Apache2 mod_perl version 1.99x.

WARNING

mod_perl 1.99 was the beta version for mod_perl 2.0. Upgrading to 2.0 is strongly recommended.

CGI ISSUES

In order to run Catalyst under mod_perl 1.99 you will need to downgrade the CGI manpage to version 3.07, as it has dropped support for 1.99 in later versions.

ModPerl::Registry

While this method is not recommended, you can also run your Catalyst application via a ModPerl::Registry script.

httpd.conf:

    PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
    Alias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_registry.pl/
    
    <Directory /var/www/MyApp/script>
        Options +ExecCGI
    </Directory>
    
    <Location />
        SetHandler          perl-script
        PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
    </Location>
    
script/myapp_registry.pl (you will need to create this):
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use MyApp;
    
    MyApp->handle_request( Apache::RequestUtil->request );
