On StackOverflow.com, someone suggested I use the following to install Apache2::Ajax from a DOS commandline: cpan Apache2::Ajax, which I did.

It started like it was going to do the install until it gave the error: Cannot opendir C:\Apache2\lib: No such file or directory at D:\Perl\Perl5_10\site\lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1664

It turns out that the path "C:\Apache2\lib" comes from Apache2::BuildConfig.pm where "C:\Apache2" is hard coded.

There are at least two problems with this hard coded path: 1) the path to my Apache2 is "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2", and 2) there is no subfolder called "lib" here..

It turns out that older Apache installs did have a subfolder called "lib" in its root directory. But, the one I had, which I downloaded a month ago, does not have this subfolder..

So, Apache2::BuildConfig.pm is definitely NOT providing the currect information for the build..

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
