Hi,
I don't think this combination will work - the mod_perl
binary you refer to uses an earlier apache, and things have
changed since then. Plus, it's not clear, at least to me, if
the newest ActiveState Perl, based on 5.6.0, can work together
without modifications - it is known that mod_perl-1.22 needs
some changes to compile on Win32 with Perl-5.6.0. You could
go to http://perl.apache.org/ and try the Win32 binary mentioned
there - it includes Perl(5.005_03)+apache+mod_perl, and is
known to work on Win9x as well as NT. As soon as some issues
involving mod_perl and Perl-5.6.0 are worked out, I'll make
up a newer binary with the later versions of things.
best regards,
