Hi JH, Thanks very much for the advice, but unfortunately reinstalling the web server & perl and starting over isn't an option for me, as I am already developing a PHP program using the apache2triad set-up and my computer is severely limited on space now. However, I will check the apache documentation as it seems like it must be a problem with the web server configuration. I had just hoped I might find someone on this list using the apache2 triad bundle who had run into this before.
Thanks!
