I am trying to install mod_perl on Red Hat 8.0,
which is running cPanel 9.4.1_C63 and WHM 9.4.0
Here are the installation instructions I
have:

How to Install mod_perl
Sometime back I
had mod_perl installed on my server, and I was given the install instructions. I
wanted to pass them on to everyone. Usually I can only ask questions so I
thought it would be nice to turn around and contribute this to the
board.
It works great. This has been used to install on RH 7.3 &
9, and cpanel 8.xxx servers:
PLESE NOTE: change the x.xx to the
actual version number of mod_perl you have downloaded.
# Get the
mod_perl .tar.gz from http://search.cpan.org/dist/mod_perl/
# unpack it:
$ tar xzf mod_perl-x.xx.tar.gz
# get into the
directory
$ cd mod_perl-x.xx
# Configure
$ perl Makefile.PL
USE_APXS=1 WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1
# Make
$
make
# Install
$ make install
# Activate
$
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -a -n perl -i libperl.so
That last line is the
one you'll need to run if you re-compile
Apache. The mod_perl binary is
at
/home/mod_perl/mod_perl-x.xx/apaci/libperl.so, so a simple way to
do
this would be to put the following lines in a file:
--- cut here
---
#!/bin/sh
libperl=/home/mod_perl/mod_perl-x.xx/apaci/libperl.so
apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
$apxs
-a -n perl -i $libperl
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd
start
--- cut here ---
Name the file add-mod-perl.sh and execute
"chmod +x
add-mod-perl.sh". Then, after compileing apache run the
script
("./add-mod-perl.sh") and it should all work.
You might
need to actually restart apache from WHM. The when you view the WHM news you
will now see mod_perl installed.
Also, everytime you recompile apache you
have to add the mod_perl back in after, so you will need to run
./add-mod-perl.sh again like you did orginally.

Ok, I reached
this command:
$ perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1
WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs EVERYTHING=1
I recieved
this error:
Reading
Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
[ error] Unable to determine server
version, aborting.
[ error] Please specify MP_APXS or
MP_AP_PREFIX.
What causes this error?
Could it be @ARGV?
Thank you,
Richard
