[Gmod-gbrowse] problems with fresh gbrowse 1.70 installation and centos 6.6

[Oliver Pelz]

Dear group,

I am running into a problem installing gbrowse 1.7 on a centos 6.6 running
perl, v5.10.1.

After installation I tried to restart the apache2 server and it gives me
alot of errors of kind from the standard installation files (did not touch
them):

/etc/httpd/conf.d/gbrowse.conf/MobyServices/GbrowseServices.pm:
</moby:$objtype>",> directive missing closing '>'

or
/etc/httpd/conf.d/gbrowse.conf/MobyServices/text_xml_renderer.pm:61: <td>
was not closed.


Most of these errors are easy to fix for me but it is a lot of hand-work to
do.

The error types look to me as the used perl CGI interpreter on this centos
6.6 does very strict syntax checking and maybe gbrowse 1.7 was developed on
a more relaxed perl version.

Here is an example of the types of errors ( </moby:$objtype>",> directive
missing closing '>')

$MOBY_RESPONSE .= simpleResponse("<moby:$objtype
moby:namespace='$namespace' moby:id='$identifier'>
<moby:String namespace=''
id=''>$seq</moby:String>
<moby:Integer namespace=''
id=''>$length</moby:Integer>
</moby:$objtype>", "",
$qID);

which I fixed easily to:
MOBY_RESPONSE .= simpleResponse("<moby:$objtype moby:namespace='$namespace'
moby:id='$identifier'>"
."<moby:String
namespace='' id=''>$seq</moby:String>"
."<moby:Integer
namespace='' id=''>$length</moby:Integer>"
."</moby:$objtype>", "",
$qID);

My question now is if there is a way to relax the perl CGI interpreter in
Centos or some kind of apache2 flag to relax config checking or do I have
to manually change things?

Please note that switching to gbrowse2 is not an option right for us at the
moment.

Best and thank you for your help
