Of course none of this absolves Christina from reading the Eagle Book,
the mod_perl Guide, the Cookbook (Geoff - see that?) and truckloads of
other stuff which you will be able to find through the mod_perl site

http://perl.apache.org

when you do actually start to use modperl.  For example you can find
out how to run mod_perl and non-mod_perl applications under the same
Apache which isn't a bad way to get your feet wet.

I'm sending out the sincerest of thank you's to all of you who 
helped me with my problem earlier today!
 
I was offline most of the afternoon, but found your messages 
this evening and miracle of all miracles, I actually got the script to 
work.
 
Thanks everyone!

  Try 
  running "which perl" and use that path for your #!/usr/bin/perl 
  line.
  Then 
  rename your script as .cgi and see if that helps.

CGI Scripts w/mod_perl
Hi,
 
I installed a CGI script last night, only to later realize 
the server is running mod_perl, instead of Perl.  I have never worked 
with mod_perl before, so I'm wondering if this is why the script won't 
function on the server.  
 
The script calls for a change in the first line of the 
code in all .pl files if the path to perl is different from 
#!/usr/bin/perl, but I can't find anything in the server to 
indicate what the path should be using mod_perl.
 
I am completely confused at this point so any guidance in 
the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
Christina

Um.. yeah, ignore all my "locate" tribble.  'which' is the way to go.
That wasn't a question.
