They are regular perl modules. They only run under mod_perl though. :-) If you can, use the CPAN shell to install modules, (see 'perldoc CPAN') Otherwise, download and extract the module then change into its directory. Read the README and INSTALL files. Then - assuming those files don't say differently - type perl Makefile.PL make make test And if you're happy with the results, su to root and type make install Hope this helps.

Installing modules
Where can I find information on how to install modules like: Apache::Requestlibapreq-0.33.tar.gz Apache::DBI ApacheDBI-0.88.tar.gz Would I install these as regular perl modules or are they installed as apache modules? I have found and downloaded the files, but am not exactly sure where to start. I installed apache and mod-perl when I setup the server with redhat by basiacally picking them out of a list. I have no experience compiling, building, or installing modules. Thanks John michael

Type perldoc CPAN for the documentation. 73, Ged.
