Windows, Apache, mod_perl, and the uwinnipeg.ca repo
Hey folks,
The following URL talks about installing mod_perl on Win32 systems:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html
...but the uwinnipeg.ca repo appears to no longer function. Looking for
alternatives, I found the following that talks about what happened to it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854074
Sad. =(
Does anyone know if any alternatives exist or is mod_perl simply no
longer available to Windows users of Apache?

Right, I was not aware of those precompiled binaries.
Jordan, ignore my previous posts and use these binaries.

ActiveState perl does not differ all that much anymore from Strawberry Perl
You can NOT install mod_perl via your cpan client because you'd need
to also compile it against Apache, and you can't compile Apache with
MinGW's compiler which is bundled with StrawberryPerl.
The best way to go on Win32 is to download Steve Hay's precompiled
binaries for Strawberry Perl which are available here; instructions
are inside the archives:

Strawberry Perl [0] is a Perl distribution "designed to be as close as
possible to perl environment on UNIX systems". I assume it would run
mod_perl.
As for installation instructions, the document you linked in the first
article includes them --- see the 'Building from sources section' [1]. I
do not know if they are accurate / updated, but you can try them. These
should work on any Perl distribution, including ActivePerl and
Strawberry Perl.
You may also look at Perl distributions that include mod_perl. For
example, IndigoPerl comes with mod_perl preinstalled. Unfortunately,
it's an ancient version of Perl (5.10). If you can live with that, it
might be the easiest way to install mod_perl. There may be other
distributions with mod_perl preinstalled.

Thanks Marius.
I'm using ActivePerl but that doesn't really matter to me. mod_perl is
what is important for this project, so if I have to switch to
"Strawberry Perl" (never heard that term before, lol), then that should
be fine.
If any installation instructions exist for that I would be most grateful.
Thank you in advance!

Are you using ActiveState Perl or a normal Perl, e.g. Strawberry Perl?
If the latter, then you should be able to install mod_perl normally,
with the cpan program.
I don't know anything about ActiveState Perl, so I can't help you with
the former. Somebody else probably will, if needed.
