I see the same problem when trying to use Win32::OLE in a startup script (with no error messages recorded - just a popup box saying that Apache encountered a problem when trying to start). This will require some debugging, but just to confirm - if you take out Win32::OLE from your startup script, but use it in a location handled by ModPerl::Registry, are there any problems? -- best regards, randy -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
