Thanks! That fix got me past that problem ... but only to the next
problem. Apparently httpd, mod_perl, etc are doing many things "behind
the scenes" which a "normal" Perl doesn't do (presumably unless told).
E.g. I'm now getting

despite the fact that Symbol.pm is in
c:/Perls/ActivePerl522/site/lib/Apache, which is in @INC. Which returns
me to the original problem:
What does one need to do to run Devel::Symdump (for documentation
purposes) on code written to run (and running) under mod_perl? I'm
currently running a driver that require's/use's the relevant scripts,
and another driver that calls Symdump on them, under a "normal" Perl
process outside of Apache. If there's a way to run Symdump inside
Apache, I'd appreciate how-to's, or pointers to same.
Can someone provide, or point me to, as comprehensive a list as
possible of what needs to be done?
Please reply directly to me as well as the list/group, and
TIA, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
