1) remove c:\apache, c:\perl, c:\openssl and unzip the distro again,
this way you get clean install again
2) copy PerlCRT.lib to c:\perl\5.00503\lib and PerlCRT.dll to
c:\windows\system32
3) set PATH to something like SET
PATH=.;C:\PERL\5~1.005\BIN\MSWIN3~1;C:\PERL\5~1.005\BIN;C:\VC;c:\apache;C:\openssl\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\F-SECURE\SSH3\PROGRAM;%PATH%
4) restart windows
5) now from the prompt you should get some answer to say 'perl -V' or
something similar
6) included configs are OK, you select the one with modperl and change
stuff the way you need it (for testing the server the default should be
ok, I usually change just DocRoot and add few virtual servers)
7) I seem to remember you have to create empty dir c:\apache\logs
8) start it with C:\Apache\Apache.exe (maybe you'll need something like
apache -d c:\apache)
9) you're done
