Errors with mod_perl as a DSO

[Drew Degentesh]

I have mod perl installed as a DSO. I can confirm this (I think) by:

--
% telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Unfortunately, even the simplest of scripts bombs out... Consider:

--
# login.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Apache() || die "cant use apache()";
--

% perl ./login.pl
cant use apache() at ./login.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./login.pl line 3.
--


Any ideas as to what gives? I know that the defacto answer is to run
mod_perl as a static library..but that's really not an option in my case...

Help is appreciated.

You can't use your perl program to run mod_perl programs; you need to
use mod_perl to run them, and that's part of your httpd.
