Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0 can be obtained in two ways - either as binaries, or through building from the sources. As with most packages of a more complex nature, it is best, when possible, to build things from the sources. However, this requires some experience with using Visual C++. + +When installing Perl or other related binaries, subtelties may arise +in using path names that have spaces in them - you may, for example, +have to specify F<C:\Program Files\> by the DOS 8.3 path name +F<C:\Progra~1\> in certain Apache directives. If you want to avoid +this, install, if possible, these packages to locations without spaces +in their names (eg, F<C:\Perl> for Perl and F<C:\Apache2> for Apache2). =head2 Building from sources
