Subject: GEOIP_PP_ONLY BEGIN{} is very inconvenient

The performance of PP Geo::IP is satisfactory for me and in my case it's preferred not to install system libraries. I really think PP mode should be transparent instead of having to do BEGIN{} and set PP_ONLY? PS. Thanks for the great work -- Consultant; Profile and Portfolio Selah.ca

Hi Matthew, the PP mode is transparent, as long as you have not installed the CAPI before. Have a nice day! On Di. 08. Sep. 2009, 16:49:22, shovas@gmail.com wrote: Show quoted text

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have any Geo-IP C libs installed that I can tell (`locate geo`). I moved over to Geo::IP::PurePerl which I hadn't seen before and now the only issue is that Sys::Mmap which must be installed or else I get a die() crash.

Hmm, I guess it is a centos issue. Have you installed Geo::IP yourself? With perl Makefile.PL PP=1 after the big warning, that you use the slow fallback code? The GeoIP CAPI is not installed you should do that. Otherwise try perl Makefile.PL PP=1 to install this module anyway. It uses a slower pure perl version and you can rebuid it later. GeoIP must be installed prior to building Geo::IP and I can't find it in the standard library directories. You can download GeoIP C API from: http://www.maxmind.com/app/c If GeoIP is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the following options to Makefile.PL: perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/home/me/lib' INC='-I/home/me/include' Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at run time for perl to find the library. If you installed the GeoIP C libraries to the /usr/local/lib directory, then you may need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then run /sbin/ldconfig /etc/ld.so.conf Am 08.09.2009 um 23:29 schrieb Matthew Gallant via RT: Show quoted text

I'm beginning to think it is a centos issue as well. Also, only seems to happen in modperl. Show quoted text

Yes, this is how I installed it. Thanks for the help anyway. My solution is Geo::IP::PurePerl + Sys::Mmap.

Hi Matthew, I would use Geo::IP and Sys::Mmap. Geo::IP handle all corner cases exactly like Geo::IP and the CAPI. There is no need to change a single line, when you switch forward to the CAPI. Am 08.09.2009 um 23:57 schrieb Matthew Gallant via RT: Show quoted text

One other question, why is Sys::Mmap required?

Hi Matthew, it is not required, it is optional in both, Geo::IP and Geo::IP::PurePerl. This line should not issue a warning, but it seems it does under your modperl. perl -e 'use strict;use warnings;eval "require Sys::Mmap"' Please email me directly, I have to delete/close all the mails in cpan's complicated bug tracker.

I am closing this as I believe it is a CentOS packaging issue.
