Hi All, First - noob alert - I've searched all avenues that I know of, but I'm not positive how to frame my question (being an apache/mod_perl virgin), so its possible there are still some trees un-barked up. (The 'searchable' archives link has no search option that I could find http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/perl-modperl/)
I've set up apache & mod_perl and all seems well. My first step is to add NIS authentication/authorization, which I need. This doesnt appear to come by default, so I'm planning to use this lovely looking module: http://search.cpan.org/~speeves/Apache-AuthenNIS-0.13/AuthenNIS.pm Sounds great.. but I'm not sure exactly under which perl install (via perl -MCPAN etc) I should be installing.. There doesn't appear to be a perl executable under my mod perl tree, and I wouldn't really expect there to be. So, using the locally installed site perl, the CPAN installer gets to the end, says, wheres mod_perl.pm ... well it is out there under the apache tree, but I dont know how to feed it's location into the CPAN installer, and anyway if I somehow managed to, would it even be installed to the correct location for mod_perl to use? Basically, how do you install a (what I would think of as a) 'normal' perl module into mod_perl? Also, if anyone has any suggestions on the auth side, I'm all ears. (This looks helpful: http://www.math.tu-clausthal.de/~matsa/linux/apache-nis/) Many thanks, Mark
