Unfortunately I concur.
The 2.0a nagios embedded Perl has some mistakes in it that prevent it's
use on other than old Perls (ie Perl 5 < 5.6 prob).
With a 5.6 or greater Perl, I think it will SEGV in the perl_alloc or
perl_construct() calls.
The fix is simple if you would like to try it, in
utils.c and any other souce of decls of PerlInterpreter,
1 remove the decl of *perl
- static PerlInterpreter *perl=NULL;
/* dupped from earlier correct decl of my_perl */
2 change the use of perl to my_perl
(in any call or result to Perl library functions (eg perl_construct()),
change the arg named perl to my_perl)
! perl_construct(perl);
---
! perl_construct(my_perl);
.. snip other sound comments
I will try and submit a patch.
My comments are about utils.c 1.81 in the HEAD branch of the CVS (viewed
through the CVS browser).
Unfortch I don't have access to threaded Perls where most of these probs
occur.
