Thanks for the leads. My concentration definitely lapsed over the make test failure. I ran make install regardless and all was well. I attempted to start the server without success. Here's the error message from the error_log
[Wed Jul 31 15:03:13 2002] [alert] httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [Wed Jul 31 15:03:13 2002] [warn] pid file /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? [Wed Jul 31 15:03:13 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) mod_perl/1.27 configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Jul 31 15:03:13 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) perl -V reports Perl version 5.6.0 which came with the Red Hat box whereas I downloaded 5.6.1 from CPAN and installed it. Conflict in libraries? I may have to try installing Perl 5.6.1 again. I'll report the results.
