Re: Installing from scratch Apache + mod_perl + Apache::ASP (+maybe others) on unix
This is exactly what I was alluding to in my previous post, and even professionals are being driven mad, despite reading the Guide (which despite being complete is still mysterious, it comes across as having a mission statement to contain everything rather than to be useful, sorry). My .05 is that all development be stopped until the instal process is up to the same standard as M$. This is what made M$ rich, the sheer installability and usability. I was visiting somebody yesterday and he had Win2K installing while we talked for an hour. Its no good complaining about the stupidity or laziness of M$ addicts, the fact that HTML and Javascript jockies are deluded enough to think they can contemplate installing servers. The fact is they do. And with M$ they CAN. And that is why corporations will continue to buy M$, rather than get bogged down in Harry Potter mystic rituals installing free software. Sorry, this is not meant to criticize anybody (certainly not Joshua, installing ASP was the least problem), everybody's tried really hard. I'm available to help if I can, if you need an unsophisticated pro to test stuff. But please, we need a professional approach to this issue now or somebody else other than M$ will do it. regards, Rod - Original Message - From: timj_moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 4:01 AM Subject: Installing from scratch Apache + mod_perl + Apache::ASP (+maybe others) on unix Okay, I'm having a nightmare trying to install all this on both Solaris and AIX.

Re: Apache::ASP problem
I believe you have actually specified that the pages must be served out of a directory /asp/ ... irrespective of the .asp suffix. If you want to drive it by suffixes not directories I suggest you try AddType text/html .asp Files ~ "\.(html|htm|asp)$" SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::ASP /Files (remove htm etc if you don't want them parsed by Apache::ASP). This method is less restrictive in that it allows you to keep binaries etc in the same directories with confusing Apache::ASP. This will also handle the scenario where the url from the browser does not contain the .asp suffix, i.e. the client wants the index page.

Re: question?
If I understand you correctly, you don't want to use mod_perl, just
Perl.
If so, the easiest way to use perl is to dowload ActivePerl (free) from
Activestate website http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/download.htm
It comes with great documentation, install it as per documentation.
If you wish to use CGI, the first line of each script should start with
#!x:/yyy/perl.exe
where x is the drive and yyy is the directory where perl.exe is.
This is known as the shebang line in the trade.
You should ejoin the activestate perl newsgroup at
http://www.activestate.com/lyris/lyris.pl?join=perl-win32-users
