I don't know how to say this, but.... I think it's unable to load config
info.

Without knowing whether or not you have the file in the first place, let
alone what it says.. it's rather difficult to help you diagnose.
I have to use this opportunity to say that the docs/readme's for
openssl/mod_ssl are some of the best around (and they look cool too :), my
point is the examples have _always_ worked for me. My only request would be
a tip for mod_perl'ers looking to use Apache::DBI (INSTALL could say:
PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=1) .. I know that I forgot the first time I built it
all.
