Mod_perl and Perl

Hi All,

I have two versions of perl installed on my system.

One is the one which came with the distro and one that I installed.

The distro one is in /usr/bin/perl
The one I installed is in /usr/local/bin/perl

When the scripts are run through mod_perl I want it to use the perl install,
that I installed, will it do this by looking within the script to see which
version of perl to use or do I have to configure something with the mod_perl
config?

Thanks,

Adam

Usually, by following the instructions found at perl.apache.org:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/getwet.html#Installing_mod_perl_in_Three_Steps
or a longer:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html

In your case, replace s|perl|/usr/local/bin/perl| in the instructions.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, how do I rebuild mod_perl specifying the perl that I
want to use?

Thanks,

Adam

No, it'll use perl you build your mod_perl with. If you want to use 
/usr/local/bin/perl, rebuild mod_perl with it. The path to perl on the first 
line of the script is always ignored.
