   This document discusses how to install mod_perl 1.0 under Win32, both
   in building from sources and in installing pre-compiled binary
  -packages. At present, an ActivePerl-compatible Perl, compiled
  -with Visual C++, is the most common one used in the Win32 
  +packages. Unless you are using an all-in-one package, you should
  +first install Perl and Apache, either from the sources or as binaries.
  +The Perl sources are available from
  +
  +http://www.cpan.org/src/
  +
  +with directions for building contained in F.
  +ActiveState also makes the sources available for their binary
  +builds at
  +
  +ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePerl/src/
  +
  +which may contain, in particular, Win32-specific fixes not in the
  +CPAN Perl sources. As a binary, at present, an ActivePerl-compatible 
  +Perl, compiled with Visual C++, is the most common one used in the Win32 
   mod_perl/Apache environment; you can obtain such a prebuilt Perl
   binary from
   
   http://www.activestate.com/
   
  +The Apache sources and binaries are available at
  +
  +   http://httpd.apache.org/
  +
   When installing Perl or other related binaries, subtelties may arise
   in using path names that have spaces in them - you may, for example, 
   have to specify F by the DOS 8.3 path name 
   F in certain Apache directives. If you want to avoid
   this, install, if possible, these packages to locations without spaces
   in their names (eg, F for Perl and F for Apache). 
  +
  +In the following, it may be necessary to invoke certain commands 
  +through a DOS prompt. A DOS window may be opened either through
  +a I option of the I menu, or by choosing
  +to run, from the Start menu, C or C, as appropriate.
