[users@httpd] Help on perl

Hello 

Please bear with me with these questions.

I have Apache 1.3.26 installed on a Solarisx86 machine with some 3rd
party modules.

I also have perl 5.8.0 installed.  To make this Perl installation work
with Apache do I need to have mod_Perl installed?

 

Thanks

 

Reaz

Yep, this will work (Windows config):

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Perl/cgi-bin/"
AddType cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Action cgi-script "/perl/perl.exe"

Don't ask me why I have AddType and AddHandler. It works as is, so
I'm leaving it alone :)

I can 't help you with mod_perl though, sorry.

            -I tried to add mod_Perl but when I did the 'make install'
in the apache directory all the extra modules I've added in the original
instillation disappeared leaving me with only the default set of
modules.  How can I add mod_Perl without affecting those modules already
loaded?  Also I noticed in the httpd.conf file there is no LoadModule
lines although when I do a 'httpd -l' I see all that is loaded.

No, Apache can interface with Perl as a CGI program, without
mod_perl.

 

mod_perl is very useful though.
