for the want of a "6"

More interesting chroot challenges today.

First the challenge of perl modules which want to use Dynaloader to load shared C libraries at run time. Not gonna happen if the path isn't the same under the chroot, which it surely isn't. I got around this one with mod_perl and a startup perl script, so that the perl module is run as root, loading the libraries, before the chroot happens.

Then LWP returned an obscure error about tcp being a bad protocol. Hm. Google groups search to the rescue, and we find there is a table I never noticed before relating named protocol names to numeric values which also couldn't be found. Simply copied this table into the chroot with read-only permissions.
