well, when I got my iBook it had the stock apache with stock perl on it,
but I never activated the stock mod_perl (if it was there... I didn't
check).

Yes, I updated Perl to 5.6.1, and mod_perl and Apache using Ray
Zimmerman's steps oft quoted on this and other lists. My results were
the same as his (and many others) but for some reason I did not have any
success with mod_perl. I guess I had disabled mod_perl and forgotten all
about it. So, when I included it in this evening it Apache croaked with
the following message...

I remember something about this... I think I used to get this error
everytime I would run perl in the Terminal, and then I used the SETENV
command once to set the locale settings and I haven't experienced this
error since in the Terminal. This is the first time I am seeing this in
the error_log when trying to start Apache. I guess it seems Apache is
not recognizing the locale settings that the Terminal recognizes.

Yes, Apache works fine (and so does Perl) as long as I comment out the
mod_perl load lines in httpd.conf. Only when I try to start Apache with
mod_perl is that it croaks. Also, there are no syntax errors in my
httpd.conf (at least according to apachectl configtest). I guess I have
to make Apache recognize the locale settings, no? How do I do that for
the entire system, preferably automatically when the system starts?
Thanks for the guidance,
