[Apache-dispatch-devel] Problem with mod_perl1, inheritance, and command directives

[Fred M. <fr...@ta...>]

For some reason, while testing with mod_perl1 I get this error message:

waiting 60 seconds for server to start: .Syntax error on line 22 of
/home/fred/dev/apache-dispatch/trunk/t/conf/extra.last.conf:

In Apache::Dispatch (and Dispatch2) I setup an inheritance from
Apache::Dispatch::Util as follows:

use Apache::Dispatch::Util;
@Apache::Dispatch::ISA = qw(Apache::Dispatch::Util);

and in DispatchUtil.pm

sub DispatchRequire {
    my ($cfg, $parms, $arg) = @_;

    $cfg->{_require} = $arg;
}

The inheritance works properly under mod_perl2, so I'm guessing that this
is a mod_perl1 specific issue of calling inherited methods which are also
setup through the command_table function.  If I define sub DispatchRequire
directly in the Apache::Dispatch package I don't receive the above error.
