Esteemed monks. I'm sure there is something extremely simple I'm missing here. I've had Apache::MP3 running on my desktop Linux box for ages. A co-worker recently expressed an interest and wanted me to install it on his Linux box. So, I downloaded the Apache/mod_perl source. Seemed to install fine, checked the SERVER_SOFTWARE ENV variable (via the vanilla printenv cgi script) after kicking off httpd: 
SERVER_SOFTWARE="Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26"

[download]
Then I installed Apache::MP3. Added the appropriate info to httpd.conf: 
<Location /moozik>
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::MP3
</Location>

[download]
Restarted httpd for grins and proceeded to the .../moozik URL. Was promptly greeted with a nice 500 error. So off to the logs I went, and I found this little snippet of handy info: 
[Tue Feb 26 16:02:54 2002] [error] Can't locate object method "new" vi
+a package "Apache" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Apache/MP3.pm li
+n 64.

What am I missing here? I'm sure I'll be kicking myself but I've tried re-installing everything from scratch and still no joy...
