Hi,
I doubt that this mix of mod_perl/perl/apache versions
could work - typically you must use mod_perl compiled against the
sources for the apache and perl binaries you're using. Plus,
mod_perl hasn't been gotten to work with ActivePerls based on
perl-5.005_03. The easiest thing to do is to upgrade your
ActivePerl to build 618 (based on perl-5.6.0) and then use
the ppm utility to install mod_perl (for apache_1.3.14):
ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd
This will also grab ApacheModulePerl.dll for you.
best regards,
