Mod_perl with NLDBM issue

[Chris M]

I am trying to get a new configuration going.  When I start 2.0.47 I get:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 1110 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
<Perl> directive missing closing '>'     [FAILED]

Line 1110 is the <Perl> line below:

PerlModule Apache::ASP
<Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside-asp>
        <Files ~ (\.cgi)>
                AddHandler perl-script .cgi
                PerlHandler Apache::ASP
        </Files>
        <Perl>
               $MLDBM::RemoveTaint = 1;
        </Perl>
        PerlSetVar Global /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global/
        PerlSetVar Debug 2
</Directory>

Does anyone have any hints for me on what I am doing wrong?  I compiled
mod_perl with EVERYTHING=1 and the LoadModule statement is in the config.

If I comment these 3 lines the server starts just fine:

#        <Perl>
#               $MLDBM::RemoveTaint = 1;
#        </Perl>

Thanks,
Chris
