The docs also state that unless it's explicitly turned _off_, it's on by default. But I turned it on anyways before I sent my last message. Here's the relevant section of my httpd.conf:

 

________________ begin ________________

 

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
LoadFile "D:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"

 

PerlModule Apache2
PerlSetEnv SCRIPT_ROOT "D:/htdocs"
PerlRequire "D:/htdocs/_startup.pl"

 

  <Files ~ "\.cgi$">
     SetHandler perl-script
     PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
     Options +ExecCGI
     PerlOptions +ParseHeaders +GlobalRequest
  </Files>

________________ end ________________

 

And here's my _startup.pl script:

 

________________ begin ________________

 

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Default module inclusions as per the Apache
# mod_perl installation instructions
use Apache2 ();
use ModPerl::Util ();
use Apache::RequestRec ();
use Apache::RequestIO ();
use Apache::RequestUtil ();
use Apache::Server ();
use Apache::ServerUtil ();
use Apache::Connection ();
use Apache::Log ();
use Apache::Const -compile => ':common';
use APR::Const -compile => ':common';
use APR::Table ();
use Apache::compat ();
use ModPerl::Registry ();
use CGI ();

 

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# General modules
use Time::localtime;
use Data::Dumper;
use Date::Calc qw(:all);

 

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Hybride modules

 

# Add the top-level directory for the modules into the module search path.
use lib qw(D:/htdocs);

# ... ... The modules I want to pre-load are currently all commented out, until 

# ... ... I get a running server to test them one at a time...

Doesn't all this require that I actually get a running Apache server first? The error message shows up when I try to start up the Apache service! As I understand it, the _startup.pl script tries to require() CGI.pm, which gives the error message. So I never get a running Apache instance to run any scripts in.

 

If there's anything else I can try, or if you see anything in the above config files, please let me know. Thanks for your patience on this...
