Installing mod_perl problems

swalker has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to install mod_perl and, though I am not a complete newby to Perl, this is over my head. I have attempted the install recommended by my host, using their "vinstall mod_perl" utility and adding a specific line to my apache conf file, but it's no good. I really need this to work so as to speed up some cgis I use with a metasearch engine. What I really want is someone to do the install and configuration for me on a contract basis. If anyones interested please contact.

The one and only mod_perl guide has far more than you've ever wanted to know about the care and feeding of a mod_perl installation. Hie thee hence to peruse it! perl -pe '"I lo`+$^X$\"$]!$/"=~m%(.)%s;$_=$1;y^`+*^e v^#$&V"+@( NO CARRIER'	[reply]

I'm also having a problem with mod_perl, but its a slightly different nature. I have a production server that is running apache with mod_perl, and I have my own local machine where I do most of my development, which does not have apache on it at all. I'd like to be able to perl -c some of my code that is using Apache::DBI to make sure it compiles before moving it over to the production server, but I can't because I can not get Apache::DBI to install on my local machine. It appears that Apache::DBI looks for a running http server on the localhost while it is installing and crashes out if it does not find it :( Can anybody offer a solution to this?	[reply]
