WinZip was then able to unzip it without any problems. (Remember to 'binmode FILEHANDLE;' when copying the zip to your hard drive.) Seems that my problem, at least, was a Windows thing, as someone else has already suggested. Hard to believe, isn't it :-) Cheers, Rob

But it is not throwing any perl path error. it is creating the makefile. - Yes - it creates the makefile, but the makefile that it creates contains errors. I doubt that you'll be able to build the module until you get rid of the 'Unable to find...' error. I've run across this problem a few times, and the remedy I posted has (until now) always worked. Still, if it's not working for you, then there must be some other cause. You *did* put it inside the 'WriteMakefile()' section ?). I did, at one stage, look a little more closely at this problem and came up with the following: 1) In 'MakeMaker.pm'at about line 192, change: HTMLLIBPODS HTMLSCRIPTPOD IMPORTS to HTMLLIBPODS HTMLSCRIPTPODS IMPORTS 2) In 'Manifest.pm'at about line 260, change: return cp if $Is_VMS; to return cp if $Is_VMS or ($^O eq 'MSWin32' and Win32::IsWin95()); I haven't verified to my satisfaction that these changes always fix the situation, but when I made those changes to a 'perl' that had the problem you describe, I found the problem went away, and I no longer had to amend the 'Makefile.pl' in the way already stated. I would expect that if you can't resolve the problem with the 'Makefile.pl' amendment, then making those changes won't help either. (Or you may find that those 'changes' are already in place.) But it's worth a try. Cheers, Rob

Re: (beginner) Win32 installation / Writing Apache Modules in Perl C
Hi Randy, I had a few attempts again this morning to install it - one of which was successful. I suspect that the problem was as simple as a misspelled url - something I'm annoyed at not having picked up ( despite not being able to view the entire error message ) - and for which I apologise. I don't know for certain, but it's 'London to a brick' that I was continually misspelling the location and then inadvertently got it right. An intentionally misspelled location seems to give the same error message (from what I can see of it). In amongst the html tags is "400 - HTTP Bad Request" - which is a bit of a give-away. Well - it *is* the first time I've seen that response - and I stopped hunting through it when I realised it was just 'some html' page - and I *am* stupidly impetuous. I still can't send the output anywhere other than to screen. I've tried the method you gave and it makes no difference. My shell is provided by Command.com - and it has been suggested that I download cmd.exe and try using that instead. I first created a file called ppm.txt in the current working directory and tried to have the output sent there by the method you suggest, but output still goes only to screen. If indeed that method does work for you ( in a shell provided by command.com ) could you let me know - and I will investigate further - and perhaps eliminate one source of potential embarrassment ( though there are still plenty left ). ( I realise that this is not a matter for discussion on this group and will post no more about it here.) Thanks for replying. Sorry to have caused you to spend time over such a thing. My commendations on the job done of providing these packages for ppm installation. Perhaps you could move them to a more 'illiterate-friendly' location :) Cheers, Rob Visit our website at http://www.kalinabears.com.au - Original Message - From: Randy Kobes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sisyphus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: mod_Perl [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 12:33 PM Subject: Re: (beginner) Win32 installation / "Writing Apache Modules in Perl C" - Original Message ----- From: "Sisyphus" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Randy Kobes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: "mod_Perl" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 2:39 AM Subject: Re: (beginner) Win32 installation / "Writing Apache Modules in Perl C" I recently sucessfully (and easily) installed mod_perl on Win 98 by using ppm.

Re: mod_perl for Win32 + ActiveState Perl 5.6 (build 616) + Apache 1.3.12
Hi, Yes - and you can even install it using ppm. Go to: http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html and follow instructions regarding ppm install. I used this method to successfully (and easily) install mod_perl1.24_02-dev on Apache 1.3.12 (Windows 98, AS 613). I can't exactly recall what I specified for 'xxx' and 'yyy' - probably '1.24.02' and '1.3.12'. The only other thing to do was to add the following to httpd.conf: LoadModule perl_module modules/ApacheModulePerl.dll Hope it turns out that easy for you.
