don't give up, john. it's a hard road, especially for those just starting out, but it is worth it :) I haven't read all of your thread in detail, but I would suggest that if you are really having that much trouble that you take a few baby steps first and try a binary distribution of mod_perl. for instance, most linux distributions have pre-compiled binary packages for both Apache and mod_perl (as a DSO) that work rather well out of the box. Solaris also has a binary mod_perl package. and if you just want to start playing with mod_perl's features, I've seen absolutely nothing easier than Randy's Win32 distribution of Perl/Apache/mod_perl (which can be found at ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/perl-win32-bin-0.7.exe) - I was simply amazed at how quickly I was able to install Randy's package and run stuff immediately. for instructions on installing the various binary packages, you can see chapter 1 of the cookbook (http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch01.pdf), as well as the valuable information in the eagle book and guide that I'm sure you've looked over already. in particular, there's a section in the guide for installing redhat rpms which, though a bit dated now, is still pretty accurate.
