Hello,
I am trying to install mod_perl 2.0.9 on linux using perl 5.8.8. I
followed the install instruction, but i immediately get this error:
# perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs
Cannot find current script 'Makefile.PL' at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/FindBin.pm line 201
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/FindBin.pm
line 201.
Compilation failed in require at
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Apache/TestSmoke.pm
line 30.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Apache/TestSmoke.pm
line 30.

line 21.
Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 39.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 39.
so try something different and get a new error:
mod_perl-2.0.9]$ perl `pwd`/Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/bin/apxs
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
MP_APXS = /usr/bin/apxs
[ error] Can't find a sub-directory Apache-Test. Make sure that you are
using a complete source distribution
I added some extra output to the error above (using Cwd), and the script
thinks the current working directory is my home directory. To verify
this, i moved "Apache-Test" to my home directory, and the directory was
found, but then i got other errors (which was expected_, because it
could not lib/mod_perl2.pm which is in the source directory i am running
the scripts from.
I am far from a perl expert, so i am wondering if there is any steps i
skipped, or is the a problem with my setup, or is this just a bug?
thank you for any help,
