stonecolddevin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hey all,

I installed HTML::Mason v.1.25 just now, after installing mod_perl through PPM. I'm using ActiveState perl 5.8 on windows XP home, with apache 2.0.54 ...and I'm receiving this error:

[Tue Jan 10 16:58:05 2006] [error] Can't load Perl module HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler for server 127.0.0.1:80, exiting...

Common sense says to make sure HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler is installed, so I checked. It's all installed. Everything's there. Did I install an incorrect version of mod_perl (2.02) or something?

Thanks in advance!

meh.

    Version 1.25 of HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler says The ApacheHandler object links Mason to mod_perl.

    The latest (1.32) version of HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler says The ApacheHandler object links Mason to mod_perl (version 1 or 2),.

    If you were to examine the HTMl-Mason changes file, I'm sure you'd see that mod_perl2 support was added sometime after 1.25, so please, go ahead and upgrade (AFAIK, you don't need PPM for HTML-Mason).

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

      I installed HTML::Mason 1.32 through CPAN.pm, and I'm getting the same results.
      meh.

        And that's the only error message you're getting? Do you have Apache2::Request installed?
