I am running Linux/Apache with mod_perl 1.26. Well, I'm not actually running mod_perl yet. I've been to perl.apache.org and it taught me a great deal. I'm ready to take the next leap but as I understand it, I have to change this:

Alias /perl/ /home/stas/modperl/
  PerlModule Apache::PerlRun
  <Location /perl/>
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
      Options ExecCGI
      PerlSendHeader On
      allow from all
  </Location>

I've copied my perl scripts to the new directory but I'm hesitant to push the 'button'. I don't have a development box - this is our 'In house' web server! Is there anyway to test one or two scripts with mod_perl before I take the complete leap?

Every scripts has been written under the strict pragma so as I understand it they should work ok.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hey, I've been able to talk our company into being our own web host -> dedicated T1, apache/linux and I write every application in Perl! Score one more for us!
