Do you mean to compile it on your own? You'll have to have Visual C++ 6
on your system (assuming you're using ActivePerl), and you should
check that your Perl is configured properly to work with it by
compiling some simpler XS-based module. If that's OK, read through
INSTALL.win32 (if it's a little unclear, patches are welcome ...) -
basically one first compiles and installs Apache (or get a
binary distribution that contains the header and lib files) and
then does
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=\Apache\Sources INSTALL_DLL=\Apache\modules
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
where "\Apache\Sources" are where the Apache sources are and
"\Apache\Modules" is where you want to put the mod_perl.so dll.
