If you need other modules compiled when Apache is compiled then you may need to break off from the mod_perl configuration at some point and configure the Apache tree so that you build the other modules too. This is especially true of modules which do not come as part of the Apache distribution, but which you have to download and install as a separate exercise. Not a difficult process but things must be done in the right order. It's in the documentation but you'll have to be patient and read it. For Apache 1.3 see http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#The_Flexible_Way and for 2.0 see http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Configuring_mod_perl but be aware that the 2.0 documentation is a long way from being "ready for prime time" and may need your input... If you're new to this kind of mix-n-match compiling it will take a little time to get used to it, but if you set up a few simple shell scripts and a configuration file or two it will make compiling just a matter of giving a single command and making another cuppa. Much quicker and less frustrating, and you'll have your setup documented! There's some information about modules and Apache 1.3 here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/install.html#trad_configure and the corresponding (rather different) 2.0 version is here http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html#configure HTH. 73, Ged. -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
