Hi Geoff, As I mentioned in another reply, the problem with mod_perl.pm not being under Apache2/ was due to a bug (since fixed) in mp2 on Win32. Unfortunately, in the binary Ron was using (that I made up), I didn't notice that the extra mod_perl.pm not under Apache2/ was still there from an old install using the broken version, and hence the error. I apologize for this - it wasn't anything that Ron did, or didn't, do. > but let's not get into the Apache2 thing again here, > please. if there is a real problem with the win32 install > process then we should fix it. if it's something that is > being caused by the Apache2 thing that could have been > solved by installing mp1 in one perl tree and mp2 in > another perl tree, then it's a userspace issue (for the > moment). otherwise it's just part of the other discussion > that we are still trying to solve, in which case thanks so > much for the detail - we'll be sure to add that to our > list of cases that should have an obvious resolutionn. I agree completely about your thoughts on Apache2; the presence of a bug like this on Win32, especially one that's been fixed :), shouldn't really be a factor in discussing the pros and cons. -- best regards, randy
