I am having problems installing mod_perl. I have installed perl from
ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739. I still get the error
"Cannot load C:/tools/Apache2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: The specified
module could not be found."
C:\tools\Apache2\bin>perl -V

The Apache2 module mod_perl.so is needed to complete the installation,
and should be placed in your Apache2 modules directory. I will
now fetch and install this for you.

Where should mod_perl.so be placed? [D:/Apache2/modules]
C:/tools/Apache2/modules
mod_perl.so has been successfully installed to C:/tools/Apache2/modules.
To enable mod_perl, put in the directives
LoadFile "C:/Path/to/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
in httpd.conf. For more information, visit
http://perl.apache.org/

In httpd.conf - I have added these two lines:
LoadFile "c:/tools/perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
I also tried removing the quotes:
LoadFile c:/tools/perl/bin/perl58.dll
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Now when I run apache - I still get the same error:
C:\tools\Apache2\bin>Apache.exe
Syntax error on line 175 of C:/tools/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load C:/tools/Apache2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: The specified
