OK, I've installed this, but I would like one more go at getting the RPM working, so I don't get more problems when the next RPM is released - I guess I have to choose one method to follow, but am more used to dealing with RPM's.

Did you stopped and restarted httpd after installing the package ?

I did, and the log showed the normal startup messages with no errors.

I also tried creating a handler, as per "Getting Your Feet Wet with mod_perl" and again it failed to resolve the handler. And again I could see the path in @INC, the module was chown'ed to the user apache is running as, and it has wide-open file permissions.

This RPM was working before, so all my messing around has broken something I can't find. If the recommendation is to ditch the RPM and proceed with the new binary then that's fine.

thanks again, jon
