Dear Monks,
Today I setup the CPAN module and used it to install a few modules. After a few successful installations I attempted to install libwww. While in the CPAN interactive shell I called:

install LWP

Then I received this error:

After noticing that it was an apache test that failed I went and shutdown my apache1.3 server and re-ran the LWP install only to receive the same results. In the past I had apache 2 installed but removed it and installed 1.3 (FreeBSD however leaves all of the /usr/local/etc/apache2 files where they are). Currently I am running FreeBSD 4.10 and Perl 5.8.2.

Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you can help,
