Steve,
Assuming your problem and the one I posted several weeks ago are the same,
the cause and solution are self-evident -- but only after the fact (perhaps
we should call it post-self-evident, "pse" for short :-)
In my case, I had a fresh Apache and I built mod_perl without building
Apache. That would be a fairly normal thing to do if you want to add
modules besides mod_perl, and it's a correct procedure according to the
documentation. There is a fundamental flaw, however, in both the
documentation and the procedure: If you haven't build Apavhe, there is no
httpd executable in the Apache source tree. Everything tested as
advertised only when I first built mod_perl and installed it in the Apache
source tree, then built Apache with the mod_perl libraries, and then went
back and did the test for mod_perl. All tests passed without a hitch. I
installed Apache, and using the example in the O'Reilly book (can't
remember which critter is on the cover), wrote the obligatory "Hello
World", and was on my way.
