Not unless you're building somewhere strange. Where did you put the sources? I usually use something like this: /home/ged/src/apache_1.3.27 and /home/ged/src/mod_perl-1.27 then su root only at the final "make install" step. > However, when I had the system admin run "perl Makefile.PL ...." as root, Don't do that. You should build as an ordinary user. Have you read through the installation section of the mod_perl Guide? See the mod_perl home page for a link to the Guide. 73, Ged.
