Re: perl-based authentication
Mark, I am by no means a mod_perl guru... and this may not solve your full problem... but, you could put something httpd.conf that says something like: if ($paid) then allow .htaccess files; else don't. In other words, AllowOverride AuthConfig if paid; else AllowOverride None. Something along those lines would solve for part of your problem atleast. Then it would just be up to the users to invoke the authentication. I hope this could help you some. Later. Carey Burgess _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Re: Need help installing on Win32...
Hey, Yeah... It's ActivePerl build 623. What's a vanilla script? I know I can run scripts just fine with this same Perl when I comment out the mod_perl lines I have below. Well, again, thanks for your help! If this is getting (or gets) too annoying for you, just direct me to the appropriate portion of some generic guide and I'll sort this out myself. Thanks!

Re: Need help installing on Win32...
Ok... I got it installed right now. The PATH was in there, but it was wrong for some reason. After I got that straightened out, installing through PPM worked like a charm. Now, how do I get it to work right? I added to httpd.conf like so: LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so # # (Other stuff here...) # Files ~ \.(pl|cgi)$ SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI /Files # # (Other stuff here...) # Alias /cgi-bin/ D:/serv/cgi-bin/ Location /cgi-bin SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI /Location --- So, I know the handler is now the perl module. But, I run into a problem at this point... Every time I run a script at all, I get one of those 'illegal error' windows for Apache and it shuts down the server alltogether. When reading the 'Details' portion of the error window, it says APACHE caused an invalid page fault in module MOD_PERL.SO at 015f:100097bc. I've tried getting rid of the 'Files' one and just leave the 'Location' one, as well as the other way around. I got rid of both and it just executed through the Shebang line like it normally did before. It does this every time without fail... Have any ideas as to why and how I can fix it? Well, thanks again for your help! Carey P.S. I was asked if I installed perhaps the wrong version. No, I installed the right version (I just double and triple checked everything). So, that's not it.

Need help installing on Win32...
Hi... I have been using Apache along with Perl for a while now (and have been writing Perl/CGI scripts for even longer), but I am having much difficulty when it comes to installing this module. (I've never installed any modules before, so I'm ALL new to this.) I've found instructions for installing it on a UNIX box, but can't seem to find any for a Winders box. For the time being, I have only to use Win98 (I hate not having a *NIX box!), so bear with me on this. Perhaps I should wait until 2.0 comes out, but I'd love it if I was able to get it going before then. If you could possibly help me out here, please do. If you might know of anyone that has installed it on a Windows machine, please point me in their direction. If you know of any sites that might be of assistance to me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide to me! Carey BTW, I already have 2 different versions downloaded (though both are named mod_perl-1.25.tar.gz) so just let me know what I need to do with them. Thanks! _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

If so, there's a ppm mod_perl package available which you can install with ActivePerl's ppm utility; see http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html for details. If you don't have ActivePerl, or just want to compile it yourself, see the file INSTALL.win32 in the mod_perl sources for instructions. best regards, randy kobes _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
