After finding-out that ActiveState's mod_perl dll doesn't really work
properly I set about getting myself a Linux partition (Mandrake 7.2) only to
find I can't effectively add mod_perl to my new Linux / Apache setup. The
apache-mod_perl-1.3.14_1.24-4mdk.i586.rpm returned a "failed dependencies" :

1. apache-common >= 1.3.14-4mdk ( I think my current Apache is 1.3.14-2mdk)
2. libdb-3.1.so
3. libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)

The version of Apache is also "Advanced Extranet Server" so do I have a
non-standard installation?

I tried uninstalling Apache and simply using the .tar.gz versions of Apache
and mod_perl. Everything installed OK under /usr/local/apache but since the
original setup was spread over different directories (/etc/httpd and
/var/www) it didn't boot properly as the linuxconf script must have been
configured to look for /etc/httpd

Very confused. How best to get all this working?
