rlm_perl and accounting

[Justin Church]

I see the patch you're referring to, but after rethinking my question, I 
think what I'm really trying to do is rewrite $RAD_REQUEST, not 
$RAD_REPLY, and it does not appear that I can alter $RAD_REQUEST in any 
way - either change or add.  If I understand correctly, $RAD_REPLY is 
the hash of attributes that the server will send back to the NAS, and 
$RAD_REQUEST is the hash of attributes that is actually written when the 
detail module is called.  My goal is to inspect the received attributes 
using rlm_perl in the preacct{} phase before they are written to log in 
the accounting{} phase and possibly remove/rewrite/add attributes before 
they are logged.  Is this possible with rlm_perl?

Also, I've observed that the freeradius will not start when my 
example.pl script contains use Data::Dumper;  It looks as if others have 
had this problem when their perl was not compiled with ITHREADS support, 
but my perl does have ITHREADS support, and neither perl -c 
-MData::Dumper nor perl example.pl returns an error.

jcc at black-pearl:~/scripts$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi

jcc at black-pearl:~/scripts$ perl -V | grep ITHREADS
   Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES


Thanks.
