On debian perl should already be installed. You can check which perl packages are installed with something like dpkg -l *perl* | grep ^ii ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.16-1 Module for manipulation of ZIP archives ii libcompress-bzip2-perl2.09-1 Perl interface to Bzip2 compression library ii libcompress-zlib-perl 1.41-1 Perl module for creation and manipulation of [snip] Looking at the error.log in /var/log/apache2/ might help too.

It is however, very different to get things done in, windows being all plug and play and linux being very configuration file driven and compiling things rather than installing with exe files. Totally depends on your distribution. On most distributions you don't need to compile or configure anything to get something like perl installed. Most distributions have it installed by default by the way, but otherwise for instance on a Red Hat-style system installing mod_perl is as simple as running 'yum install mod_perl'. Now, try that in Windows (GUI login, find site, find download, execute installer, click Continue/Next a couple of times, delete installer, etc.). Get to know your distributions package manager and you'll learn to love it. I do agree that it's different though. Give it a little time, I never looked back. Nils Breunese.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Authorization Required
No, my BackupPC_Admin is already in my cgi-bin directory. Do both the symlink and the BackupPC_Admin need to be in the cgi-bin directory? Thanks for the links on perl, I will read up and learn how to configure Apache2 with perl support. I am a windows guy and am only now learning linux. It's fun and I see why linux is much more secure than windows. It is however, very different to get things done in, windows being all plug and play and linux being very configuration file driven and compiling things rather than installing with exe files.

[BackupPC-users] Authorization Required
I just installed BackupPC 3.0 on a new installation on Debian. I had a previous installation and have a SCSI drive with backup data from the old install so I am hoping to get reconfigured to use those backups. The problem currently is that I am getting an "Authorization Required" prompt and the install did not give me a username/password combination like that older version did. Where is the htpasswd file located so I can change the password to something I can use? - OR - Ho do I completely get rid of the need for authentication. I am running in a situation that has low security risks. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
