Mod_perl

[Murugan K]

Hi 
    I apologize  for the simple question.  Since i am new to this  mod_perl , i am 
having this doubt.  
After building  mod_perl.so ,  Is it required to have the  Perl interpreter installed 
on the server.

What i understood was,  the mod_perl.so is a  apache perl module  which is providing 
the way to  access the external Perl interpreter at run time. Is it correct.  

After building Mod_perl.so , If i delete the Perl directory in server , what will 
happen while loading mod_perl.so. 

Regards
