Mod-Perl Installed next Q

["Purcell, Scott" <sp...@ltcgroup.com>]

Hello,
Thank you all and Ron for the link to savage.net to get my
Apache/Perl/ModPerl installed.
I was successful about 10 minutes ago and my machine looks happy.

Well, now that the package is running, how do I use the persistant memory,
do the .pl files need to be named something different. Or how does this
mechanism work by putting them in the cgi-bin? Do I just call a module in my
code?  I want to just play with the server but need to use the mod-perl
(persistant behavior). I have some clean code that I would like to move into
a bin dir and check. 

What does one have to do to make this occur. Any links, or examples would be
helpful.

Thanks again,
Scott

If you installed the binary package from theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca,
there's already a simple example of a script (contained in
/Apache/mod_perl/printenv.pl, and accessed as
http://localhost/mod_perl/printenv.pl) which uses Apache::Registry -
see C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf for the directives setting this
up. Also, check httpd.conf and the readme files for descriptions
of the installed working examples of Apache::ASP, HTML::Embperl, and
HTML::Mason, as well as a stupid Apache::Hello handler. Beyond
this, as was also mentioned, http://perl.apache.org/, especially
the guide, and http://take23.org/, are your friends.
