As another reply noted, is the mod_perl-enabled Perl in your PATH?
And does it occur first, if you have multiple Perl binaries on
your system? This is the most common cause of this error ... Also, check
that mod_perl.so does exist in C:/apache/apache/modules/. Finally,
make sure, if you get the non-eapi version, that you grab the mod_perl
version that corresponds to your Apache version - the numbering goes like
mod_perl-x.xx_y.yy.ppd, where x.xx denotes the mod_perl version and y.yy
that of Apache. The non-eapi mod_perl ppd that corresponds to the
latest Apache is at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd.

Ones with "eapi" in the name were compiled with the EAPI flag, which
is used with mod_ssl. This isn't needed unless you're using mod_ssl.

This is the expat library for use with the latest version of
XML-Parser - the reason for the special name is that the expat
and XML-Parser sources were modified to avoid a namespace
conflict on Win32. Don't bother with this unless you're trying
to install the latest XML-Parser.
