No dice.
CPAN asks for your apache '/src' dir, not the location of the binary or the source base dir. e.g. if you've untarred the apache source in /tmp/apache_1.3.26, you should pass /tmp/apache_1.3.26/src when prompted by mod_perl installer. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html for more info. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
