First, the eagle book covers mod_perl 1.0. Not 2.0. Though most of the Perl things should work in the same way under 2.0. The chapters on C are definitely applying only to Apache 1.3. Not Apache 2.0. Second, the online documentation for mod_perl 2.0 is far from being complete and you should refer to the 1.0 documentation for the missing parts. Use the search to find your way around. A help to port the 1.0 bits of docs to 2.0 is appreaciated. PerlSetEnv and other Perl* directives go to httpd.conf. The startup file should be created, it's not provided by mod_perl. So go to http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide and start reading from there. All your questions are already answered there. Finally, since mod_perl 2.0 is under development and the docs are incomplete you are much better off learning with mod_perl 1.0 which is stable and pretty much bug free. __________________________________________________________________ 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 -- http://fastmail.fm - Send your email first class
