in reply to problem installing mod_perl

The mod_perl from the ports collection will almost certainly require that a registered package of perl 5.8.x from the posts collection is also installed - if you have instaled the perl 5.8.0 by hand then it probably won't work. Either install the apache/mod_perl by hand or install the perl 5.8.x from the ports collection.

    Thank you for the replies
    perl -v from the command line without a path gets the results from original post:
    perl v5.8.0 built for i386-freebsd
    the OS did come with perl v5.6.x
    I upgraded perl from the ports collection quite some time ago
    I think my next step will be downloading and compiling mod_perl by hand

    Thank you for the advice
