Phil,
Thank you very much for your quick response!
The reason I assumed mod_perl wasn't installed was because of a post I found
searching the mail list archive.
When I try to start/stop httpd manually I receive the following error:
Syntax error on Line 896 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlRequire' , perhaps misspelled or defined by a
module not included in server configuration.
I noticed someone else with the same problem, and the replies pointed to the
fact that mod_perl was not installed.
So I guess I can eliminate a bad install as part of the problem... but
that's leaves me back at square one.
I'm going to continue to hunt through the mail list archives and FAQ's for a
solution... but if anyone can think of anything in the meantime, I would
love to hear it!
Thanks again!!
-Jim

James,
It is installed, actually. What you're seeing is a build of Apache
where pretty much everything is installed as a DSO. This makes it
possible for Redhat to ship things like mod_php4 as RPMs so you can just
install them piecemeal. If you look in APACHE/libexec/, you'll find all
the other modules you're looking for.
What you need to do in your httpd.conf file is LoadModule [ module name
], but since you're seeing mod_perl in the server headers, it's probably
already done.
I would advise you to learn how to build all this from source. It's not
terribly difficult and Stas's mod_perl guide at perl.apache.org/guide is
a great resource. Also, the software comes with instructions.
phil.
