in thread Apache and HTML::Mason::CGIHandler, Not being called?

Well, I just tried "install mod_perl" again (I have tried this method before) and this is the majority of the output:

I'm *now* searching for a mod_perl.dll, but not finding one, so where should I look? (Used windows search for file...)


My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.

    Apologies: the file is called mod_perl.so. If it's not in your <apache>/modules directory (where it should be:) you'll have to manually extract it from the ppm archive (at an address something like: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/x86/mod_perl.tar.gz) and place it in the <apache>/modules directory. There are other mod_perl binaries in that location, so you may have to pick the apache version relevent to your installation (e.g. mod_perl-1.26_1.3.20.tar.gz or whatever).

      Ok, once I've moved mod_perl.so into position, what do I need to do to enable it? I see no settings commented out in the settings file for mod_perl (just about every other mod_ you can imagine, but not mod_perl)

      Thanks for all this help, youre a life-saver (take that however you choose, if you wish to be candy, so be it)

        In the httpd.conf file there will be a whole bunch of commented-out lines that start: 
        #LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

        [download]
        where foo is something like proxy, digest, usertrack etc. At the end of this list add the line: 
        LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

        [download]
        In the section after that you'll see something like: 
        ClearModuleList
...
AddModule mod_foo.c
...

        [download]
        add the following line to the end of the list: 
        AddModule mod_perl.c

        [download]
        Note: the capitalisation is important. You should have a working mod_perl installation after this.

        When your Apache server starts you should see somthing like: 

        Apache/1.3.26 (Win32) mod_perl/1.27_01-dev running...

        [download]
        I'll update my original instructions appropriately so that the next monk who wanders along with a mod_perl/win32 install problem doesn't have to go through all of your frustrations.

        BTW, you're welcome.
