Thanks. After experimenting and not getting it to work, I finally purged apache2, apache2-common and lib-apache2-mod-perl2 (those are the Debian package names), made sure all the config files were deleted, then re-installed all three and used your config for perl.load. It worked fine. Thank you. Hal
