Hello: I am not an expert either with Apache or Perl, so I am probably having some basic problem here. I was forced to intall mod_perl just because of one script that I use for querying Amazon.com and parsing the XML they return. My site was until yesterday hosted by some company, but now I have to use my own web server and trying to make perl work.
I had apache installed on w2000, and replaced that instalation with the one provided in the file "perl-win32-bin-0.9.exe". I copied everything on top of the other one, including the configuration. Browsing of "localhost" is fine, and simple Perl tests like "hello.pl" work, but I have problems with that script. I don't really know what the following means, but it seems the script uses Perl module LWP. The author of the script recommended installing this module like this: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP' I issued the command with a "*.bat" file and the command kept looping forever, and had to stop it manually (CTRL+C). Also, the script uses a package called "WSParser.pm", which I have in my cgi-bin folder. Maybe someone in this list is an Amazon.com associate and has dealt with these scripts. Anyway, I don't even know how to chmod a file, so maybe this is the first thing I should do. How do I do that? Thanks in advance, and sorry that I am such a newbie here.
