Sit down, this could take a while as I'm not quite sure how to explain the problems I've had with mod_perl :)

I have tried their PPM method of installation to no avail... while I get all the Apache perl modules, mod_perl itself never installs (I followed their instructions down to a copy-paste.) I attempted to manualy build my own, only to discover that MS-VC++ can't do what MS-DevStuido can, so I can't build it myself. Thus, I had to give up on mod_perl (unless I overlooked an option).

So, HTML::Mason has a module designed to simulate mod_perl, HTML::Mason::CGIHandler, which you can supposedly tell Apache to use instead of referencing the file itself... the problem is, it's still referencing the file itself. Ie: http://localhost.com/School/test.html

htdocs/School/test.html contains: <% 1+1 %>

If mason reads it, it should come out 2, with nothing else. Just 2. Instead I get <% 1+1 %> printed out. So... something is going wrong somewhere along the line. (That .htaccess file is also in htdocs/School)

Also, I do have the latest version of ActivePerl, though I haven't attempted to install mod_perl since a couple minor revisions ago (circa February release, attempted install only a week ago) The cgi directory is the default, and the one that the installer setup automaticaly.

I hope this clears a few things up, anything else I should provide?

Thanks for the suggestions.


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