>Description:
mod-perl in apache stopped working after the times change, and test programs
linked against libperl.so fail to work:

with mod_perl in apache, apache no longer even starts up since the times()
change. if i remove mod_perl from the apache configuration, it works just
fine. I think this is a problem with the perl pkg, needing to include
sys/times.h perhaps? so perhaps it needs to be addressed by the pkg
maintainer rather than lib-bug-people.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to run apache with mod-perl compiled in on a current system newer than
the times change
>Fix:
include the correct file in perl? i have not tried this yet...
