Don,
Don't do that <Location /ASP/> thing yet... let the .htaccess
in site/eg override things. The PerlSerVar won't work because
its PerlSetVar. The black thing is probably a bug that came
up recently, set DynamicIncludes to 1 in the .htaccess file,
and the page should be white. That you are seeing links
means Apache::ASP is working !!
Read up on how to config the site/eg scripts at:
http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/config.html
If you read about the <Location> tag, you have gone too far.
Congrats on a successful mod_perl install! It will be well
worth it I assure you.
-- Joshua
