Indeed! I bow in the general direction of Winnipeg. A few tweaks to
httpd.conf-perl, install the service per

http://apache.org/docs/windows.html

and Apache::Hello is doing its thing on w2k. 

However, the site that I want to port from Solaris Apache to Windows
Apache uses Apache::Cookie, so I got

> [error] Can't locate Apache/Cookie.pm in @INC

in the error_log. I was unable to install the module using CPAN.pm
(seems to be a combination of server directories not being where
CPAN.pm wants them to be, and the win32 ncftpget.exe not taking the
switches CPAN.pm wants to give it), so I copied the .../Apache.pm and
.../Apache/*.pm from the working Solaris site. Now I get

> [error] Can't locate loadable object for module Apache::Cookie in

which is

After a bit of research, I'm wondering: 

? Is this libapreq related? If so, is there a libapreq for win32? I've
  seen the ominous

  and am hoping someone's gotten this working in the past year (oh
  please :-) Otherwise, is there a workaround?

? If not, what's wrong?

? Is there a win32 installer for Apache::Cookie out there anywhere?

Also (admittedly offtopic): can anyone provide assistance with getting
CPAN.pm to run on a non-ActivePerl win32, such as the 5.6 provided
with the Kobes install? Pointers to resources would be appreciated.

Please reply directly to me as well as the list/group (I'm on the
digest), and TIA, Tom_Roche@ncsu.edu

Hi,
    That's great to hear .....

Apache::Cookie comes in the libapreq package, so you
do need this installed. I'm not aware of anyone being able
to build this on Win32 - I tried, but without success.
But it would be quite useful to have - I'll try again.

I set up the CPAN.pm in the mod_perl binary to use tar and
gzip - does this combination work, rather than ncftpget?
The tar.ex and gzip.exe binaries I used are in the same 
location as the mod_perl binary. Some fiddling with
CPAN.pm's Config.pm file might be necessary if you use
different locations and/or different paths than the
defaults in Config.pm. If you send me a copy (off the list)
of the error message you're getting, I'll try to see
if something looks familiar ....
