Randy, Ok, yes, this worked...to a point! I pulled down fresh copies of the modules from CPAN, unpacked, build and tested with another user. All tests were successful with Apache::Test with the normal user, but I had to go to root for the tests for libapreq1.2 as my webserver needed the root user to start FrontPage services. Doing the make test for libapreq-1.2 all test fail and I get this in the t/logs/error_log: [Mon Aug 25 08:49:12 2003] [error] Can't load '/home/admin/libapreq-1.2/blib/arch/auto/Apache/Cookie/Cookie.so' for module Apache::Cookie: libapreq.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/mod_perl.pm line 14 Compilation failed in require at /home/admin/libapreq-1.2/t/response/TestApReq/big_input.pm line 9.

I've tried to install DynaLoader.pm from CPAN, but it says it's up to date. Any other suggests! Thanks for your help so far!
