ActivePerl mod_perl ppd available

[Randy Kobes <ra...@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]

Hi,
   A ppd for mod_perl, suitable for use with ActivePerls 
based on Perl-5.6.0, is now available. Installation is as

ppm install 
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd

or in ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/ppmpackages/.
A post-install script will subsequently be run which
will download and install the required ApacheModulePerl.dll;
this should be placed in your Apache modules directory.
If for some reason the script fails, this dll can be
obtained from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/.
Also available in this directory is a sample Apache
httpd.conf suitable to test mod_perl on Win32.

This build, using VC++ 6, is based on the current cvs 
mod_perl version and on apache_1.3.12. If you want 
to compile mod_perl on your own with ActivePerl, the cvs 
version is known to build cleanly and pass all the tests.

Also available at the above location are ppds for a few
Apache-* packages; more will be added, as wants arise.
Embperl is not included yet, as there's some issues that
need to be sorted out first. As soon as this occurs a ppd
will be made available.

Although mod_perl is reasonably well tested on Win32 in
general, this specific ppm version has not undergone extensive
testing, and so should be considered experimental. Please
report any mod_perl related bugs to the list. If you have any 
specific problems with installing these ppds, or would like 
to suggest other ppds to include, please let me know.

best regards,
randy kobes
