Hello Monks,

I am having problems with setting up Mod Perl with Apache 2 on my Windows XP machine. Apache 2 (2.0.45) installed using the standard Apache Binaries, and Perl is 5.8.0 (Activestate Build 805).

I have downloaded and installed the mod_perl.ppm from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/mod_perl.ppm and managed to get Apache 2 running without any errors.

However when I come to execute a Perl script using Mod Perl, i get a 500 internal server error, and the message "Failed to resolve Handler Apache::Registry - Can't locate Apache/Registry.pm in C:/Perl5.8/lib C:/Perl5.8/site/lib at (Eval 1) line 3.0".

The file Registry.pm is installed in C:\Perl5.8\site\lib\ModPerl and not in the apache directory.

My httpd.conf file looks like ... 

<Location /perl>

SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponceHandler Apache::Registry # Also tried ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>

[download]

Any one have any ideas what is wrong with this?

Thanks for your help

Alistair
