Regarding the PerlAuthenHandler

Hi  Guru's
I am implementing NIS Authentication in my project.
Using Apache1.3.19, modperl_1.25,perl 5.005_02.
In httpd.conf when i try to put

  PerlRequire  /eg/startup.pl
  PerlModule Apache::AuthenNIS

  <Directory /home/guts>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "NIS Authentication"
  PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenNIS
  </Directory>


i get the error
Syntax error on line 547 of /export/home/ats/test-tools/ats/guts/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlRequire', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started


In startup.pl i have mentioned the path of my perl modules(AuthenNIS.pm etc) using
use lib qw(../../../); 

Please hint some expertise suggestions..
Thanks and regards
Qazi Firdous

Are you *really* sure you have installed mod_perl? Try ./httpd -l to
list the modules and check..
