I'm not familiar enough with how the bml stuff works to
offer anything specific there to look at. Is there anything
in the error logs that might help? Also, are you sure that
that c:/livejournal/cgi-bin/modperl.pl is successfully loaded,
and in particular that variables like $LJ::DOMAIN and
$LJ::SERVER_TOTALLY_DOWN are reaching Apache->httpd_conf()?
And is the bmlp.cfg file being read? One way to check these
things is to put some print statements in various locations
to let you know that that point is being reached.
