hello, im trying to get started with mod_perl on macosX and have run into some problems. hope someone can help with some of them. im following the Stein/MacEachern book rather carefully ... presently i am at the point where i need to load their small startup-script which looks like this: __________________ #!/usr/bin/perl -w BEGIN { use Apache (); use lib Apache->server_root_relative('lib/perl') } use Apache::Registry (); use Apache::Constants (); use CGI qw(-compile :all); use CGI::Carp (); 1; _________________ 1) according to the book there should be a perl.conf file where i should add a couple of lines, however this file doesnt appear anywhere on my system, why is that? 2) anyway if i run the script from the terminal i get a message saying i forgot to load the Apache module - how can this be when i have a perfectly running apache server and a seemingly properly build version of mod_perl? 3) inside /usr/local/apache there is a conf directory containg different configuration-files and other stuff- im not sure why they are there at all when the one i use is placed inside /etc/httpd - again i guess that perl.conf should be placed inside that conf directory? 4) is it not correct that the server root is /usr/local/apache - or is it on macosX /library/webserver/documents or something similar? thanks allan
