| I didn't know where to go.
If this question shouldn't be posted here, just ignore it
I have been trying to config perl and apache.
My apache has been running for a while.
and I already had perl installed, but I guessed
a new installation would be better. when I start to install
it ask for the apache src. and I can't find the apache src
I eve downloaded the leatest version to check that out.
then I jumped this stage. later on the documentation say
that I should add a Include conf/mod_perl.conf but I can't
find the conf file.
Thanks

What are in the apache log files?
To run cgi you need at least the following ing httpd.conf
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
and in .htaccess you probably need need
Options +ExecCGI +Includes

Define "better". Have you been bitten by a bug that you know has been fixed
in a newer version? Have you benchmarked a newer version against your
scripts, and found it runs them faster?
Why are you guessing about something that can be measured?

You should "check out" the instructions. Building mod_perl as a DSO, outside
of the apache source tree, is clearly documented.

Whatever for? Do you seriously believe you can simply skip anything you
don't understand, and somehow wind up with a working installation anyway?

As I said it was asking for the apache src. and I couldn't find in my
installation.

anyway?

If that is too diff for you to get.
Is because you don't know what in which order the perl apache have been
installed. nor you know how as it had been done by the OS.

It seems that I came to the wrong place.
Thanks anyway

Reading your post over and over: Are you speaking of Perl, apache and
mod_perl, or just Perl and Apache?
Anyway: I would suggest that you install apache _and_ mod_perl. Just
download the source for both of these from the apache web site and be sure
to _read the documentation_ for how to install these simultaneously.
It's quite simple; Unpack both archives (Apache and mod_perl) and install
mod_perl. When asked about the apache source dir, tell it where to find
it and the installation script will compile and install apache for you.
Then download the latest Perl distribution (the source), and compile and
install it.
If this sounds scary, and you're running Red Hat, download the RPM
packages instead.

Why did you guess so?
