Hi,     I'd like to join the mod_perl / apache community. I'm having install problems that I've been trying to solve for 2 days with no luck. So I'd like bother you folks with a beginer question. I'm using Debian 2.2, Apache 1.3.14 and mod_perl 1.24_1. I've tried several times and this is a close as I can get. a) unzip both Apache and mod_perl. b) mod_perl is first : perl Makefile.Pl EVERYTHNG = 1,make,make install. c) Now apache : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=rewrite --enable-shared=rewrite --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --enable-shared=perl   Everything compiles OK. However, my httpd.conf file now has LoadModule perl_module libexec/libperl.so But this is no libperl.so on my hardrive. I've run updatedb and search but there is no libperl.so. As a result apache will no start ( error about libperl.so )   At work I use Coldfusion,PHP and some CGI with perl. I'm looking forward to getting into mod_perl heaps as perl is a tool I can use for both web development and system admin. Thanks in advance. Kind regards Rudi.
