Hi all! Thanks for your thoughts, Randy.

That works ok, for Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.0. Surely I can't execute any perl then. The browser starts to load a page, but does not finish. After several minutes(!) it says 404. > If so, then it might be that you're running > into the fact that mod_perl 2.0 on Win32 has problems with > perl-5.6.1 (ActivePerl 6xx), and that the solution would be to > migrate to perl-5.8.0 (ActivePerl 8xx). As long as I don't have a DBD-Mysql afterwards, that's not possible other than for testing. But it's the same for 5.8.0 - crashing, too. > However, if the server starts OK above, but things like > PerlModule Apache2 > cause it to crash, then it might be a misconfiguration, Ok, but where to configure? > or faulty installation, or something similar.

The only thing happens is a small dialogue box popping up saying "The requested operation has failed." Same happens if I comment "PerlModule Apache2" and uncomment "PerlRequire", if if the file to be required consists only of comments! Thanks again for your help, Robert
