Now that's really strange. mod_perl.pm does appear in that one of those paths
(probably /usr/local/src/smolder/smolder-0.02-src/lib/i686-linux) right?

should be all of them in the upcoming 0.03 (sometime this afternoon).

I understand. Thanks for helping out so far. If you get some more time, check
out the latest release.
