Apache2 Cookbook Fails

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi, I have been using the apache2 cookbook for a couple months now and have now
noticed on a fresh install that it fails. I have tried this using apache 1.0.8
and 1.0.2 (the last time I know was successful).

I am running RHEL 5.3

Here is my stacktrace,

So this is where it gets fun, running

/usr/local/bin/apache2_module_conf_generate.pl /usr/lib64/httpd/modules
/etc/httpd/mods-available : produces the error above

perl /usr/local/bin/apache2_module_conf_generate.pl /usr/lib64/httpd/modules
/etc/httpd/mods-available : works fine and generates the .load files

/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/apache2_module_conf_generate.pl
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules /etc/httpd/mods-available : Also works fine and
generates the .load files, which is used at the top of the perl script
#!/usr/bin/perl

Any thoughts?

The hashbang at the top of apache2_module_conf_generate.pl is
"#!/usr/bin/perl" in my copy of it. What is it in your copy?

What does /usr/bin/perl look like? Is it the actual perl binary or
symlink somewhere else or perhaps some kind of a wrapper?

Turns out it was a problem with upload the apache2 cookbook from my windows
machine causing it to think the interpreter was '/usr/bin/perl^M'. Running
dos2unix on the files and re-uploading fixed the problem.
