installation question

["ROUSSY, ISABELLE" <is...@bell.ca>]

Hello,

I compiled mod_perl using the simple command 
perl Makefile.PL
make && make install

then to add it apache, what is the commanf line because I tried 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc/httpd --sysconfdir=/www/conf
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
make && make install

but I still can't see mod_perl.c in httpd -l or mod_perl in my status
page

what is the missing step?
thank you, IR.

I'm not sure you're doing things in the right order (you don't really
need to do ./configure, mod_perl can do that for you) nor whether you
have the directory structures etc. right to begin with.  You want the
Apache and mod_perl source trees in two directories something like so:

/usr/local/src/apache_x.x.xx
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-x.xx

which you can create by doing this:

# cd /usr/local/src
# mv mod_perl-x.xx.tgz .
# mv apache_x.x.xx.tgz .
# tar xzvf mod_perl-x.xx.tgz
# tar xzvf apache_x.x.xx.tgz

You may have to modify this if you don't use e.g. the GNU version of
tar which understands about gzipped files.

Make sure you have removed and stopped any existing Apache binaries
and processes, edit the attached file as necessary (I've put some
modules in just to show you how I usually do it), put the file in
/usr/local/src/mod_perl and issue the commands:

# cd /usr/local/src/apache
# make clean
# cd /usr/local/src/mod_perl
# make clean
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make test
# make install

Of course you must change the directories above to suit your setup.
You can also put makepl_args.mod_perl in your home directory and build
Apache somewhere under your home directory tree, but you should put a
dot at the beginning of the filename (.makepl_args.mod_perl) if you do.

Let me know how you get on?  It's all in Stas Bekman's Guide:
