Why it is so complicated ?

[- <05...@doar.net>]

I am trying to install apache support for ASP (using win95).
I have spent many days in downloading+reading+trying etc...
without results.
It seems as if it is the purpose of some persons to make it complicated.

Is it a hard task to make one file (exe) to make it automatic  installing ?

Hi,
    You don't need to change / to \ - Perl on Win32 can understand
it .... Try setting the PERL5LIB environment variable to include
these directories.

(@INC contains: .) Error

[Asaf Klibansky <as...@realcommerce.co.il>]

I installed win32 apache+perl+ssl but upon trying to start the apache web
server
i get the following error:

Can't locate Cwd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .) at (eval 1) line 1.

i tried the followin to get @INC variables:

C:\>perl
for (@INC) {
        print "$_\n";
}
^D

and got:

C:/Perl/5.6.0/lib/MSWin32-x86
C:/Perl/5.6.0/lib
C:/Perl/site/5.6.0/lib/MSWin32-x86
C:/Perl/site/5.6.0/lib

notice the / is the wrong / for windows.

how can i change that to \ ?

is that really my problem?

thanks guys.

I know it can be complicated, but once you put it all
together you have a remarkable web publishing environment.
Once you have modperl + Apache installed, which I know
is no small feat, you can use the CPAN ( perldoc CPAN )
installer to install Apache::ASP like:

  cpan> install Bundle::Apache::ASP

Understand though that you will only get ASP perl scripting
at the end of all this, no VBScript/COM/JScript, etc.

It can be frustrating ...

To build packages that work seamlessly on many different platforms 
isn't easy, especially for Win32, but many people here have put a lot 
of effort into this - they make their lives harder so yours can
be easier ...

Using the CPAN.pm module to install things is very good advice - 
Apache-ASP should build and install cleanly with it. Alternatively,
if you're using ActivePerl (the 600 series, based on Perl-5.6.0), 
there's a mod_perl package you can try - install it as (on one line)

ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd

and then

ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Apache-ASP.ppd

You might need some additional packages for ASP, depending
on your setup - these can also be installed by the ppm utility from
ActiveState's site (see http://www.activestate.com/ppmpackages/ 
for a list of available packages).
