i am trying to install mod_perl and apache from tarball. after untarring, i created the makepl_args.mod_perl file in my home dir with my options. by the way, i am building this on a rh7.1 machine with mod_perl already installed. i am building this to learn.
anyhow, when i run perl Makefile.PL, i get this... [boex@rootabega mod_perl-1.99_01]$ perl Makefile.PL You are running Perl version 5.006 We strongly suggest to upgrade to at least 5.6.1 mod_perl/1.24_01 installation detected...not ok cannot install mod_perl/1.99_01 on top of mod_perl/1.24_01 use MP_INST_APACHE2=1 option or to force installation delete: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/mod_perl.pm first, i am running perl 5.6.0. as the same user, i run perl -v and get.. [boex@rootabega boex]$ perl -v This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i386-linux Copyright 1987-2000, Larry Wall second, is the version i downloaded, 1.99_01 only for apache 2.0? are these versions being split like apache 1.3 and 2.0, with and without threads? if so, should i download a different version? if not, what route should i go to install? my goal is to install from scratch so i can learn more and to install with the same directory structure, /usr/local/apache-mod_perl/ on my production and dev machines. i want to be able to run a mod_perl or non-mod_perl enabled web server. matt Matthew Boex Sendmail Group 312.822.3955
