Mod_perl installation on Win 2008

[ext-ma <ma...@beamex.com>]

Hi.
I am a consultant for a high-tech company and I have installed Bugzilla for their internal use. For various reasons the Apache server had to be installed on a Win2008 server. And for other reasons the server is Apache 2.0.

The mod_perl module is missing from Apache and hence Bugzilla is slow. I have read about this and found various ways to install mod_perl.
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html is a good link.
Problem is that almost all these advices points to either http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ or http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/ and both these addresses have been down for over a day.

It might be that I am missing something obvious but would anyway appreciate some help.

regards

The maintainer of the sites you mentioned, Randy Kobes, passed away
over a year ago. As far as I know there are no binary 'ppm' packages
available for mod_perl anymore. Steve Hay maintains recent versions of
mod_perl that you can simply expand over your Apache and Perl folders;
you can download these from his site:
http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/

It would be awesome if someone can update the mod_perl docs; I'm not
sure who can handle this (or if I could send in a patch of some
sort...)

I thought you said that this is a hi-tech company..

The less-than-obvious thing is that I believe that the person who took care of these sites 
has passed away (died), and nobody else has taken up the work of maintaining these sites.
A pity, really.

Look in the archives of this list, just a few days ago, for a link to another site 
providing some mod_perl binaries.  They are not the ones you need, but maybe the same 
person can help you.
