DigitalKitty has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all.

I decided to investigate mod_perl (version 1) in an effort to write my first handler. After installing mod_perl (using ppm), I added the following three lines (in order) to my httpd.conf file:

LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c (later removed since the 'find' utility could not locate the necessary file).

After editing the autoexec.bat file to reflect the location of the mod_perl.so file and rebooting the machine, I attempted to start apache. The following error immediately appeared:
Syntax error on line 197 of c:/program files/apache group/apache/conf/ +httpd.conf Cannot load c:/program files/apache group/apache/modules/mod_perl.so i +nto server : (1157) One of the library files needed to run this application canno +t be found

If anyone could alleviate my dilemma, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
-Katie.
