Spencer,
Would you consider doing the recomendation listed below from a member of the asp
mail list? With a fresh install we'll try to make sure we end up with only one perl
installed. It needs to be nothing less than perl 5.6.1. If you would do the upgrade
using RPM, then I will try to make sure I answer the question correctly to not install
another version of perl. I'll only install Apache ASP.
I will grab a copy of our static pages under html so I can replace them.
I believe this link also listed below is import to our sucess:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-256.html#Red%20Hat%20Linux%207.2
Another email will follow in a few minutes that I believe is also important to our
sucess.

Subject: Re: New Perl 5.8.0
It looks like your mod_perl is still compiled to the 5.6.0. I would
suggest that you have them give you a fresh server install. Then use
the RPMs to upgrade to 5.6.1 (it looks like they are using RedHat 7.2)
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-256.html#Red%20Hat%20Linux%207.2
Now, when you try to install your modules with CPAN, it may try to
install Perl 5.8 in order to resolve dependancies. Tell it 'no' when it
asks you if you want to do this. This usually happens when a module
becomes integrated into the default perl install in a more recent
version. You may have to manually force it to install the older version
of the module before it became integrated.
HTH,
Stuart Johnston
