I know nothing about mod_perl set-up but in the `httpd.conf` listing should the first line be `PerlRequire Optrack` rather than `PrelRequire Optrack`? Just a guess. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l] [select]

sorry for the type error, the error is not there in original httpd.conf.	[reply]

i think Apache is unable to load your `Optrack` module, because it does not find it in `@INC`. try adding your path to the module in `httpd.conf`, something like this: `PerlSwitches -I"C:\path\to\your\module\"` [download] then delete the line: `PerlRequire Optrack` [download] and use your module from Apache like this: `PerlModule Optrack` [download] you can read about passing arguments to Perl from Apache in the mod_perl 2: Server Configuration Guide: Perl Switches. hope this helps :))))) <update time="Thu Oct 5 23:48:41 EEST 2006"> specified the use of `PerlModule` instead of `PerlRequire` </update>	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I c more strange problems with mod_perl on windows. Now it's not able to load CGI.pm, i tried commenting the use Apache2::RequestRec, it worked. I don't know what i c ahead, i thing using PerlSwitches -I"C:\path\to\your\module\" should solve my problem.	[reply]
