It might be that C:\Apache2\bin (the location where the ssl dlls are found) is missing from the PATH (Win32 looks for dlls in the PATH) - when building mod_perl, I think at an early stage Apache.exe is called to get the version info. Try adding C:\Apache2\bin to the PATH (if that's where ssleay32.dll is found). If you're on XP, that's done from the Control Panel as Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Advanced, and then edit Environment Variables. Note that Win32 uses a ';' as the separator between entries. Alternatively, you could comment out the loading of mod_ssl.so in Apache's httpd.conf, if you don't want to use it. -- best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
