Does putting in a directive LoadFile "/Path/to/Perl/bin/perl56.dll" in httpd.conf help (before loading mod_perl.so)? Also, when you installed the mod_perl-2 ppm package, did mod_perl.so get copied properly to your Apache modules/ directory? Sometimes this doesn't work for some versions of ppm, and you may unknowlingly be using an old mod_perl.so. If this didn't install correctly, you can extract mod_perl.so from mod_perl-2.tar.gz found in http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/x86/ Unfortunately, even if you get this working, you may encounter problems with mod_perl 2 with ActivePerl 6xx (based on perl-5.6.1), due to some threading issues that have been addressed in ActivePerl 8xx (based on perl-5.8.0). Is it possible to upgrade to ActivePerl 805? -- best regards, randy kobes
