in reply to Installing mod_perl on win32 machine.
Why are you doing the load file perl58.dll?
When I did a mod_perl install on win32 (mod_perl 1, apache 1) I simply downloaded the compiled .so file, stuck it in the modules directory, then added two lines to my conf file:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
(In the appropiate spots of course) Then I rebooted and it worked.
