I've just installed the Zangweb Apache-2 / mysql suite of programs on my PC (Windows-XP v5.1). After I used CPAN to install the Apache modules, I tried to install the mod_perl2 module. After specifying the full path to the provided apxs, the following errors were produced: 
[  error] Unable to determine server version, aborting
[  error] Invalid MP_APXS specified

[download]
The follow-up messages said, essentially, that the installation had failed.

I've googled the errors, and have seen the same question posted on Fink and Ubuntu newsgroups. Opinions were offered (that other header files needed to be extracted from the repository), but I haven't found a solution on any of these other sites.

Has anyone here encountered this problem, and can you share with me what I need to do to resolve the matter?

Many thanks in advance.
