It's amazing what you can find when you read the documentation and notes...
I found that I must now specifically define HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler in my
handler.pl script. I wasn't doing this and it appears that was causing my
seg faults.. It looks like this changed after v0.89. Now I have other
problems but they appear to be programming script issues not seg faults.
PS: I had already built Apache with Mod_Perl compiled in... same result.
Thanks!
