Well, for all who have attempted to help, i wish to thank you. I decided
to download the src.rpm for perl-5.005_02-2 and do a rebuild for my
system, thinking that the libperl.a was trashed or at least partially
responsible for the server being killed off. And i also grabbed the
modperl from CVS and rebuilt that, which i had done prior to the perl
rebuild and reinstall to no avail.
But to my surprise, after a successful rebuild of
perl-5.005_02-2.src.rpm and installing it and a successful rebuild of
modperl_19991107232715 i got it all working. :-)
Now i am a happy camper and see the following in my server-status:
Server Version: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.4.8
OpenSSL/0.9.4 mod_perl/1.21_01-dev PHP/3.0.12
Thanks again to all who tried to assist.
Regards
