rlm_perl / rlm_python

[Jonathan De Graeve]

I think there's a bug in the latest perl versions.

When you are running Debian 3.1 (perl 5.8.4) and want experimental
package you may want to link libperl.so into freeradius, if you don't
you get an error when you start the freeradius server with rlm_perl
enabled

Like:
/usr/sbin/freeradius: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl/5.8/auto/IO/IO.so:
undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr (failed!  run '/usr/sbin/freeradius
-x' to find out why.)

I solved this with recompile configure option: 
--with-rlm-perl-lib-dir=/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8.4

You also can do LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libperl.so freeradius but I would
suggest the first option...

All latest version have it. But it's unstable and therefore you have to
compile from source using --with-experimental-modules

No, but latest version is best :)

I think that rlm_perl is likely to be supported better than rlm_python.

Go for rlm_perl
