Windows XP, Apache, perl 5.16, mod_perl

[André Warnier <aw...@ice-sa.com>]

Hi guys.

We generally work on Linux Debian systems, and install Apache httpd, perl and mod_perl 
from the package manager, and it works great.
However, for some cases - like my Windows XP development laptop - I would like a local 
copy of this all, to develop and test new software. (Also because I need to support 
customers under Windows).

I used to install a recent version of perl from ActiveState and then a mod_perl ppm from 
the UWinnipeg repository, but that option doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Could you recommend one "integrated" solution for this, in terms of Apache httpd 2.2.x, 
and a recent perl version ? Like, something which works without having to spend a week 
resolving dependencies and incompatibilities ?

Thanks

P.S. I do not have a C compiler on my laptop, and I'd prefer to stick to Windows XP as 
long as it works.

Thanks, Mike.
That did it. Works like a charm.
I guess that this could be a useful tip to add to the on-line mod_perl documentation for 
the Win32 installation, but I have no idea how one goes about this.

Steve Hay compiled mod_perl for use with ActiveState Perl and Strawberry -
you can find them here:

http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/

Just download and unzip and it works.

both ActiveState and Strawberry come with dmake nowadays!
