That error does generally arise from an incompatibility between the version of Apache mod_perl was compiled against (in this case, 2.0.53) and the version of Apache you're running (2.0.44). To use mod_perl, you'll have to upgrade Apache (http://httpd.apache.org/ contains links to Win32 Apache binaries). You may want to consider doing this anyway, as 2.0.44 is a relatively old version, and there's been a number of security and bug fixes since then. -- best regards, randy kobes
