Hi,
An Apache-2/modperl-2 Win32 binary package is available at
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/Apache2.tar.gz
for those Win32 users who want a preview of things to come. This
archive will unpack into an "Apache2" directory, underneath which
is a "blib" subdirectory containing the necessary perl files.
These are included when starting Apache by a modperl directive
found near the end of conf/httpd.conf, where a sample "Hello
World" modperl handler is also found. Some editing of httpd.conf
will be necessary if this package is installed in a location
other than "D:\Apache2". Within the blib/ subdirectory is some
documentation on modperl-2.0.
The package was compiled with the cvs sources of Jan 1, 2002,
using VC++ 6 and an ActivePerl based on perl-5.6.1. The
libmodperl.so library in the Apache modules/ directory will most
probably not work with other Apache-2 binary packages.
Being under development, there are bugs present; in
particular, when stopping an Apache-2 service a memory error
results if modperl is enabled. Please let me know of any problems
you might have in getting this package installed; for
questions/problems on Apache-2, see the docs at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/, and for modperl-2, see the
information at http://perl.apache.org/ on subscribing to the
"dev" mailing list.
best regards,
randy kobes
