I was trying `perl -MCPAN -e 'install SOAP::Apache'.

That actually tries to install SOAP::Lite

t/06-modules...........NOK 15# Failed test 15 in t/06-modules.t at
line 24 fail #14
#  t/06-modules.t line 24 is:   $@ =~ /(Can\'t
locate)|(XML::Parser::Lite requires)|(this is only version)|(load
mod_perl)/

It seems SOAP::Lite once installed knows how to handle the different
versions of mod_perl (including 1.99_X).

However, when you attempt to install SOAP::Lite if you tell it you
want an Apache/ModPerl SOAP server, it tries to install mod_perl 1.2X,
so my suggestion would be to tell it you _don't_ want Apache/mod_perl
support, it will install the transport modules anyway.


the load mod_perl is what concerns me and during the install it said
that mod_perl wasn't installed.

I am tempted to install from source but I am nervous about crippling
my installation as it's a live system.

Tell CPAN where you want your modules installed:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> o conf makepl_arg PREFIX=/usr/local/whatever
cpan> o conf commit

Then you can adjust @INC via your preferred method.

Still, I would recommend testing it in another machine and asking at
the SOAP::Lite users mailing list, since that's where the problem
seems to be.
