in reply to mod_perl losing/confusing file paths?

Are you trying to use the "automatic reload" of changed modules - Apache::Reload or Apache::StatINC or something similiar. If so I think you need to make sure that the directory is in @INC (I can see /apache/lib/perl but I don't know if that is what you are using). Perhaps you could reply and let us know what you have added to httpd.conf to get mod_perl working.

    My httpd.conf file (the applicable parts anyhow) looks like this: 
    LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

PerlModule Apache::Registry
PerlModule Apache::DBI

Alias /perl/ d:/www/perl/

<Location /perl>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
  Options ExecCGI
  PerlSendHeader on
  allow from all
</Location>

    I haven't done anything special with Apache::Reload, etc. I just copied my CGIs over and tried to run them.

    Hope this helps. Thank you!

      This looks o.k. but is your perl directory in @INC? if not you can add it in the startup script (startup.pl)
      use lib qw(/home/httpd/perl); # for example
      I don't really know why this works but it did for me. Also you can start up Apache with a single server process -XI think which would be worth trying to see if you still get the problem.
