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. Juan
