Greetings,
I'm trying to configure mod_perl with Apache and windows xp.As i'm very knew to mod_perl installation as well as windows environment, can anyone help me to do the successfull installation. Here my environment,
perl version : 5.8.7
Apache : 2.0
mod_perl : 2.0
I have tried with this url to installing mod_perl in windows.
I ran through the command which is mentioned there

  C:\modperl_src> perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=\Path\to\Apache2 
   C:\modperl_src> nmake
   C:\modperl_src> nmake test
   C:\modperl_src> nmake install
[download]

I have successfull ran through the Makefile.pl command. but, in Xp it shows the error "command not found" while running 'nmake'.
Also they are mentioned that,
" The final command, C:\modperl_src> nmake install will install the necessary mod_perl 2.0 files into your Perl directory tree, and also copy src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so into your /Path/to/Apache2/modules/ directory "
I didn't find any '.so' files in that path.
Are i'm moving to the right direction?. Can anyone help me to continue with successful installation?

Update:

I have successfully installed MSVC in my system. I guess i can able to see all the lib files in my machine.But still i got the error message "Note (probably harmless): No library found for msvcrt.lib" like this. Also, I have downloaded 'nmake' utility.But it's too failed while executing.

If these lib files are mandatory, why not it's coming along with mod_perl module itself ?. Why should i go for MSVC ?
Can anyone help me to install successfully ?
