cheers Ken,

I had to get re-aquainted with virtual hosts, so your suggestion was really helpful in eventually finding my mistake. I am on my laptop using this as a local test and completely forgot set up /etc/hosts file.

I was just accessing everything via the full local url, eg http://127.0.0.1/projectsite/public_html/test.pl. I set up a virtual hosts with a proper server name locally ( eg projectsite.local ) then added this to my hosts file, it was all honky-dory. Part of my confusion was the assumption that mod_perl and mod_php work the same way - php works without having to set up a virtual host this way. But I found digging into virtual hosts a useful learning experience.

thanks for your feedback, I lead me to the solution!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
