Re: Connection to MySQL DB fails when mod_perl enabled...

OK, here's the relevant part of your conf:

# BEGIN MOD_PERL CONFIG
    LoadModule perl_module modules/ApacheModulePerl
    ScriptAlias /perl-bin/ "perl-bin/"
    PerlSendHeader On

    <Location /perl-bin>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Registry
        Options ExecCGI
    </Location>

    <Files *.pl>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Registry
        Options ExecCGI
    </Files>

    <Files *.cgi>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Registry
        Options ExecCGI
    </Files>
# END MOD_PERL CONFIG


I propose that you reduce it to:

# BEGIN MOD_PERL CONFIG
    LoadModule perl_module modules/ApacheModulePerl

    <Files *.mpl>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    </Files>

# END MOD_PERL CONFIG

You'll see that I'm using *.mpl. This will insure that you don't have some
other assosiation interfering.
