Yes, I've seen and tried some of the things in this document, but not a
complete download and install.
Are you also working with Red Hat 9? Did you put these things in your
httpd.conf?
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
PerlModule Apache2
PerlModule Apache::compat
Or did you leave httpd.conf as is and go to trying the scripts?
Currently, I have the above in my httpd.conf and I also have the following
in my httpd.conf.
Alias /cgi-perl/ "/var/www/cgi-perl/"
<Location /cgi-perl>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options ExecCGI
</Location>
I place the following script in /var/www/cgi-perl and when I request it
from a browser I get a popup asking if I want to save the file to disk or
open it. Not the behavior I expect.
#! /usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Mod_perl 2.0 rocks!\n";
Another simple file I have in /var/www/cgi-perl is:
#! /usr/bin/perl
# perltest.pl
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Script Environment</title></head><body>\n";
print map{ "$_=$ENV{$_}<br>\n"} sort (keys (%ENV));
print "</body></html>\n";
And curiously enough, this works when accessed by my browser, and one of
the environment variables it prints to the screen is:
MOD_PERL=mod_perl/1.99_07-dev
However, the LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so in httpd.conf is
still causing an error message when I start and stop the server.

And there is still no notice of mod perl in the logs.
