If it reaches this point, it means that the necessary files
are installed in the perl tree - if you do at a DOS prompt
perl -Mmod_perl -e "print 1"
and not get an error, it means that this part is OK.

Here it's trying to run a post-install script to install the
mod_perl dll (mod_perl.so) into your Apache modules/ directory.
For some reason it can't find your perl binary to run the
script - I assume perl is in your PATH? If so, you can do this
manually - get x86/mod_perl-1.25_1.3.19.tar.gz from the site
you got the ppd file, unpack it, and manually copy mod_perl.so
to your Apache modules/ directory.
