Thanks for the comments. I am back to square one but I think the answer is that mod_perl is not actually installed. (Thanks for the suggestion.) I have heard you don't need it with strawberry, but if that is true I don't know how to set up strawberry to do this so I continued trying to set up mod_perl.

Everything was going OK as I ran makefile.pl and I got a message that the apxs utility was not found. I have no idea what that is. It asked me if I wanted to find them, and I said no but continue. Next I tried to run nmake. nmake is in the directory but it is an empty file (0KB) and of course I got an error. So I'm stuck here. Not able to run nmake test or nmake install. So I'm trying, but this doesn't seem to be working out too well. This is the most temperamental and difficult install I've ever had the pleasure of not figuring out! May have something to do with my stupidity, I don't know! Any suggestions? Thanks again!!!
