question on installing mod_perl to activePerl on win98
Hi:
>From your website http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html, I got
message( see following)
Win32 ActivePerl mod_perl ppms - suitable for builds 6xx. You can install
this by, within the ppm shell, setting the repository to
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer and typing
install mod_perl. This will also run a post-install script to install the
required mod_perl.so to your Apache modules/ directory.
I followed the instruction, but ppm can not find mod_perl, in fact I opened
this link, nothing there. I really need to install mod_perl in my computer
to do some projects, my operation system is win98, I appreciate to get your
quick respond.
Thanks
Ye

Generally, in the Win32 Apache world, one should keep as current
as possible, for bug/security fixes. So if it's at all possible,
it's probably a good idea to upgrade to Apache_1.3.20. If that's
impossible, there are older Apache/mod_perl versions in
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-legacy/.
The versioning goes mod_perl-x.xx_y.yy.ppd, where x.xx refers
to the mod_perl version and y.yy refers to the apache version.
You should note the .ppd file corresponding to your apache
version, and install it as (all on one line)
ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-legacy/whatever.ppd
Using a mod_perl version compiled for a different apache than you're
using doesn't always work. Note that, after Apache_1.3.15, the name of
the mod_perl dll that goes into your Apache modules/ directory was
changed from ApacheModulePerl.dll to mod_perl.so.

Thanks, I have installed mod_perl successfully by setting the repository to
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/.
I have one more question. The version of mod_perl is 1.25 which is written
for apache 1.3.20, my apache version is 1.3.14,
I think I need copy the file mod_perl.so to apachemodperl.dll, right? What
else I need to do? Or I have to use apache 1.3.20 instead of 1.3.14?
Best Regards
Ye

The above link only gives something sensible when called by
the ppm utility. Did you try this as
DOS> ppm
ppm> set repository whatever
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer
ppm> search mod_perl
ppm> install mod_perl
ppm> quit
DOS>
(the "set repository ..." should appear on one line). If this
doesn't work, try installing directly as (again as one line)
DOS> ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd
If neither of these work, do you have problems installing
modules from ActiveState's repository? eg, does
DOS> ppm install GD
install GD.pm OK?
