Another newbie question: SetPerlVar

Hello,
 
 If I use SetPerlVar in my apache-perl httpd.conf by just plainly
stating.

SetPerlVar Foo Bar

Apache-perl won't start:

Syntax error on line xxx of /etc/apache-perl/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'SetPerlVar', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
/usr/sbin/apache-perl-ctl start: httpd could not be started

What is the obvious thing I am overlooking?

Regards,

 Walter

  It's PerlSetVar not SetPerlVar.

Try PerlSetVar instead.
