Thanks Geoffrey for the pointer. I'd (wrongly) assumed that the configuration file that ships with Gentoo would have been using the appropriate container and was scratching my head as to why things weren't working. Your explanation and the documentation you've pointed me to clears all that up. Not only is there a typo in the gentoo mod_perl config, but they've used the wrong containers. I'll add this onto the bug report that I've just found. Apologies for bothering the list with a problem that is distro specific, and thanks for taking the time to help, Regards Neil -- "Don't remember what you can infer." - Harry Tennant Email - [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website - http://slack.ser.man.ac.uk/ Photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/slackline/
