Monks, I have winxp with active state perl.

I have also apachefriends/XAMPP, with the perl add-on, for an OOTB apache with mod_perl. See:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/winxampp/readme-addon-perl.txt

This means I have two "perl homes", the one installed by apachefriends, and the one installed by active state.

A simple script like 

print "ok";

[download]
works. But, I have a script that has 
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;

[download]
and apache chokes on this line:

I installed HTML::TokeParser::Simple for my "usual" Active State perl, but I guess this hasn't been installed for the version of perl being called by apache.

Could someone with apache experience -- or ideally, with ApacheFriends/XAMPP experience -- give me some pointers on how to get my script to run?

Also, is there some way I can get more helpful error messages? Right now I am commenting out lines of script playing hit and miss.

Much obliged!

thomas.

UPDATE: This isn't very surprising to me, but the apache log reported:

In reply to how do you control the perl executable used by mod_perl? (apachefriends) by tphyahoo
