newbie needs help

[dave frost,,,]

Hi everyone.

I have just built apache mod perl, things seem to be fine since /server-status reports

Apache Server Status for home.itchy.and.scratchy

Server Version: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01
Server Built: Jan 5 2001 17:49:02

I have also edited my httpd.conf file to include the following

#mod perl stuff
Alias /perl/ /usr/local/apache_modperl/perl_mods/
PerlFreshRestart On
<Location /perl>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler testing
</Location>
<Location /perl-status>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Status
</Location>

the /perl-script runs fine.  The problem is with my own (well written :-) script.  The module is in the @INC list, and is called testing.pm.

package testing;
use strict;

sub handler
{
my $r = shift;
$r->content_type("text/plain";
$r->send_http_header();
$r->print "this is daves module running";
}

I have tried the url http://home.itchy.and.scratchy/perl/

but that reports an internal server error - any ideas why this is and what im doing wrong would be of most help,


Thanks
