Hi Dan,
You are correct when you refer to
'this somewhat convoluted load/clear/add'
My httpd.conf has
LoadModule perl_module libexec/libperl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
When I leave alone and check the error_log, Apache AND
mod_perl are loaded. However, I cannot view any web
pages; instead I get the msg:
'The document contained no data'
(what document I do not know)
When I comment out the AddModule I can view all my web
pages, but the error_log claims that only Apache is
loaded - mod_perl is not. This may be fine, it may be
a DSO (I don't know) but I cannot view a .pl file as
outlined in Apache Modules w/ Perl & C, pp 41-45. It
displays text only, as if the Options ExCGI were not
present.
I am trying to pay close attention to the guide and
all the other literature on the subject. Obviously,
it the installation works correctly the first time,
then it is understandable, otherwise, (I think) it is
very confusing.
