Hi,
Sorry about the late followup, just recovered from New Years. =) My

This was the problem. I had a syntax error in my startup.pl file, and
when I ran perl -c startup.pl I got:
hits:~/batch# perl -c startup.pl
Can't locate object method "module" via package "Apache" at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/DBI.pm line 202.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at startup.pl line 9.
hits:~/batch#
So I thought the problem was with Apache::DBI. Of course, the problem
was somewhere else, and once that was fixed, apache started up (even
though perl -c gave the same error).
Perhaps it would be worthwhile making Apache::DBI compile ok when not
run under mod_perl?
Cheers,
Alex
