To build the module, you'll need a C compiler (Visual C++ 6, if you want compatibility with ActivePerl). But since CPAN.pm believes Apache::Request is up to date, you probably have a working version, in principle.

This script ran fine for me under Apache::Registry with ActivePerl 635 / mod_perl 1.27 / Apache 1.3.27. From where are you running it? And does a simple Apache::Registry script that just prints out "Hello" work from the same location? -- best regards, randy kobes
