This was already present, and removing it does not make a difference.

Yes, we know for sure the mod_perl.so file is located in the correct
location, experiments have shown there is a different error message
when that is not the case [The specified module could not be found.]

This is unfortunate, we are reluctant to upgrade to perl 5.8 before
this issue is resolved.....[Or is this problem more than a
performance problem and is it impossible to get perl56 and mod_perl 2
and apache 2 to work together...?]
We have installed the same software on an other W2000 machine and
that gives exactly the same results.
And, since I have not seen any definite report that someone else
is running this combination on W2000, we even think this Apache-mod_perl
combination only works on WinNT....?
Can someone conferm or deny this....?
