I've snipped the output below, but actually those were all warnings, not errors - most are due to pod2html not finding things like a title in the pod, and the last one was CPAN.pm not understanding a TERM environment variable.

That's because the mod_perl.so you're using in the Apache2 modules/ directory was compiled with a different Perl and/or Apache2 than the one in that's being picked up in your PATH. > I've tried everything short of building mod_perl > myself (including the perl mpinstall, the single line > ppm command and the repository command for ppm3). > > I'm trying to install Apache2 with mod_perl on perl5.8 > on windows and I'm getting nowhere because I cannot > seem to get a good copy of mod_perl. What am I doing > wrong? I'd suggest, first of all, getting rid of the various Apache and Perl installations you have, and starting afresh. If you previously had installed an Apache2 service, remove it by C:\Path\to\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe -n Apache2 -k uninstall Then, either get the Perl-5.8-win32-bin.exe all-in-one binary, and install from it the Perl/ subdirectory to C:\Perl and the Apache2/ subdirectory to C:\Apache2. Alternatively, get an ActivePerl 8xx binary from www.activestate,com and an Apache2 binary from www.apache.org and install these, respectively, to C:\Perl and C:\Apache2. If you do the latter, then install the mod_perl ppm package as you've done before. -- best regards, randy
