Ok... I got it installed right now. The PATH was in there, but it was wrong
for some reason. After I got that straightened out, installing through PPM
worked like a charm.
Now, how do I get it to work right? I added to httpd.conf like so:
------------------------------------------------------------
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
#
# (Other stuff here...)
#
<Files ~ "\.(pl|cgi)$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Files>
#
# (Other stuff here...)
#
Alias /cgi-bin/ "D:/serv/cgi-bin/"
<Location /cgi-bin>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
</Location>
-----------------------------------------------------------
So, I know the handler is now the perl module.
But, I run into a problem at this point... Every time I run a script at all,
I get one of those 'illegal error' windows for Apache and it shuts down the
server alltogether. When reading the 'Details' portion of the error window,
it says "APACHE caused an invalid page fault in module MOD_PERL.SO at
015f:100097bc."
I've tried getting rid of the '<Files' one and just leave the '<Location'
one, as well as the other way around. I got rid of both and it just executed
through the Shebang line like it normally did before.
It does this every time without fail... Have any ideas as to why and how I
can fix it?
Well, thanks again for your help!
Carey
P.S. I was asked if I installed perhaps the wrong version. No, I installed
the right version (I just double and triple checked everything). So, that's
not it. Thanks to all!

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.
best regards,
