mod_perl Installation and Configuration (fwd)

["Devi .M" <md...@nmsworks.co.in>]

Hello All,
	I want to install mod_perl with apache and configure for it in
Linux m/c. I have tried this and started the server also. When typed
./httpd -l in apache/bin it showed the following output

  http_core.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_setenvif.c
  mod_perl.c

But I am not sure whether I have installed and configured properly. Can 
anyone help me and also give a sample file that I can invoke it in a 
browser and view Atleast Hello World in the browser.

Thanks in advance,
Devi.

What Ged suggested is essential, but here is a direct link to get you going:

Well congratulations, you have a mod_perl server!

It's not as easy as just giving you a sample file.

You really have to read the documentation, including the mod_perl Guide
which is at

http://perl.apache.org.

If you're using a version 1.x of Apache and mod_perl make sure to read
the version 1 documentation!

Please also read the documents in the mod_perl source tree which tell
you what information to post when asking for help.  Things like 'perl -V'
are often very useful.

You might also like to check out

"Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C", ISBN 1-56592-567-X
which you may find hard going at first and the
"mod_perl Developer's Cookbook", ISBN 0-672-32240-4
which contains some 'recipes'.

Ged.
