Hi Randy,Shannon ... Have asked the SA chappy to recompile the module as you suggested. Not sure if the approach you mention can be done though .... I think HP don't want us to add anything to their mod_perl distribution by adding modules to the main location. Can't we compile the module against 5.6.1 but then put it somewhere else, and add that location to $PERL5LIB ?
I think mod_perl is using a distribution in /opt/hpws/apache/perl5.6.1/whatever... We currently have it (compiled against 5.8) in /opt/perl5.8/lib/whatever... Can we put the (recompiled) module in a new location (say /opt/myperl/lib) and say PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/opt/myperl/lib ??? Sorry to have interrupted your sleep with my troubles ;) Thanks all, Antony. -----Original Message----- From: Shannon Eric Peevey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2003 10:35 To: Antony Batten Cc: 'Randy Kobes'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Apache::AuthenNTLM module with HP/Apache Antony Batten wrote: >Randy, > >OK thanks, I'll give that a try.

(I just woke up in the middle of the night with the same answer :)) ) Yes, use the perl binary that points to 5.6.1 when you run "/path/to/perl5.6.1 Makefile.PL". (Running the rest of the install as normal, of course ;) ) This will place the module in the appropriate location for your mod_perl, that apache is using, to find it. speeves cws
