Is Perl in your PATH when you're installing this?

At http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/httpd.conf-perl
there's a sample Apache httpd.conf file for Win32 mod_perl/mod_ssl.
Basically, to get started you need to load it:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
This file then gives some examples of using Apache::Registry,
HTML::Embperl, Apache::ASP, and HTML::Mason in this environment.
Also, check http://perl.apache.org/, especially the mod_perl
guide, and http://take23.org/, for further information.
