Hello all,

I'm in the process of installing mod_perl and HTML::Mason on my Win2K Workstation, and I have ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 (build 519) and Apache 2.2.23 installed.

To enable mod_perl and the Mason handler, I have added this code to httpd.conf:

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
<Location />
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>

[download]

Unfortunately, when I attempt to start Apache, Apache complains that the operation has failed. An Apache configfile test confirms that my httpd.conf is valid. A glance at the httpd error log reveals:

[Thu Nov 02 10:09:15 2006] [error] Can't load Perl module HTML::Mason:
+:ApacheHandler for server 127.0.0.1, exiting...

[download]

So then I locate the HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler and compile it (via `perl -c ApacheHandler.pm`) and get this response:

Can't locate Apache/Constants.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/
+lib C:/Perl/lib .) at ApacheHandler.pm line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ApacheHandler.pm line 13.

[download]

Sure enough, Apache/Constants.pm does not exist, although there is an Apache2/Const.pm module.

I have searched PM and Google for a workaround for the missing/misplaced module, but was unable to find what I was looking for.

Could someone please provide an explanation of why this has happened, and what the appropriate fix action would be?

-Update-

Ack! It appears that I have version incompatabilities. I mistakenly thought I had installed mod_perl 2.0, but ActiveState only provides v1.27 -- this explains much.

Is there a mod_perl 2.0 port available for Win32?

Regards,

Jim

Where do you want *them* to go today?
