+Note that, currently, mod_perl 1.0 does not work with an
+ActivePerl Perl in the 8xx series (based on perl-5.8), due
+to some issues with I<LARGE_FILES> support. You should either
+then use an ActivePerl Perl in the 6xx series (based on perl-5.6.1),
+or else, if you need perl-5.8, build or obtain a binary
+Perl compiled without the I<USE_LARGE_FILES> compile-time option.
+Another possibility, if you desire perl-5.8,
+is to consider trying mod_perl 2.0, which does work
+with an ActivePerl Perl in the 8xx series (and is in fact
+the recommended Perl version) - see
+L<modperl-2 in Win32|docs::2.0::os::win32::install>
