I'm sorry, but i just cannot comprehend the doc or Doug's book explanation on how to further configure Apache to load any custom perl modules I might add. I dropped a perl dir under apache2: /usr/local/apache2/lib/perl/Apache per Doug's direction (from "Apache Modules..." p. 28). I don't believe I have a perl startup file. Or do i? And where do I place the "PerlSetEnv" directive? In httpd.conf? I cannot seem to make sense between the online doc and the book's direction. No criticism to the authors, I'm just a bit slow. I would like to pace myself learning how to build and implement my own perl and c modules with mod_perl as advocated by Steve and Doug.
My testbed includes Apache 2.043: mod_perl(1.99_08): perl 5.8 on linux. If someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Benjamin -- http://fastmail.fm - The professional email service
