Thanks for the quick response!

please refer to docs or you may see the quick install guide
(http://www.biomart.org/install-overview.html) about how to set your
conf/settings.conf which contains useful information about your apache
binary , host, port etc etc.

Right. I'm following those instructions, but I was sort of expecting to
see "Looks good.... you are done." at the end of step 1.3.4.1. It does
say "Configuration of the Perl API requires a single step". If any of
you guys are involved in this guide, may I suggest adding a few words
along the lines of "if you experience difficulties, please see section
X.Y on how to configure Z"?

As you can see in your install attempt, it cant find apache binary and
subsequently fails on mod_perl and other libraries.

Check. Fixed it for my platform. It's called apache2 on debian/ubuntu
systems. Now I have this error message instead:

$ perl bin/configure.pl -r conf/registryURLPointer.xml

You can change the above configuration by editing 
"biomart-perl/conf/settings.conf"

(what's all that "use of uninitialized value" business? It doesn't look
too good, does it?)

Any suggestions?
