in thread A very severe Perl installation problem!!

Thank you for your help tachyon!

I don't know why I didn't come here sooner! I just wanted to let you know that I didn't have to end up booting up in safe mode. For some reason, when I Ctl+Alt+Deleted the Add/Remove programs app for Perl, it was still in a state of "installation," according to the error. This was why I couldn't delete the Perl directory directly. So, when I just booted up normally today, the deleting process went okay.

I plan to download one of the Apache Mod_perl combos, so I don't have to go through as much grief. My only problem is, I already have PHP 5.0.0 working on my current Apache server, and I need to find an Apache + Mod_Perl package w/o PHP. Does anyone know of any good links for such a package. The reason why is that those packages with Apache, Mod_Perl, and PHP, have a PHP 4 version.

Thank you again for your help,

    Have a look at WAMP which has Apache, Mysql and PHP5 by default and plugins for Perl or maybe Big Apache which has everything you want but uses PHP4 not 5. It should be trivial to change it from using 4 -> 5 simply edit these lines in your httpd.conf (in Apache /etc dir I expect) and restart apache.

    #ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4win/" ScriptAlias /php5/ "C:/php5win/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 #Action application/x-httpd-php "/php4/php.exe" Action application/x-httpd-php "/php5/php.exe"

    cheers
