Mention LoadFile in the mp2 docs?

Greetings.

From:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#Enabling_mod_perl

[...]
Win32 users need to make sure that the path to the Perl binary (e.g.,
C:\Perl\bin) is in the PATH environment variable.
[...]

Is it not true that the directive LoadFile "C:\foo\perl58.dll" makes path
modifications unnecessary?

If so, it should perhaps be mentioned here. (With caveats, as situations
where Registry scripts are handled by one - LoadFil-ed - perl version and
CGI scriptse by another one - or not at all - would probably be
confusing...).

Cheers,
alf

That's a good idea ... I'm at a workshop right now, but
when I get back I'll add that.

I guess the generic doc should simply redirect win32 users to
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/config.html
and not bother providing incomplete info.

But I don't see that doc mentioning this issue. Randy?
