Yeah, I'm coming to that conclusion. I didn't want to go that route, and have two copies of perl on my system, but it is looking as though that will be my best option----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service INC. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 ----------------------------------------------- On Jan 11, 2007, at 1:38 AM, Issac Goldstand wrote:mod_perl sounds a bit excessive. Just make sure Perl is installed in your chroot. Issac Serge Dubrouski wrote:For this configuration you need to have mod_perl installed on your server. Why don't you simply put your script into your cgi-bin directory?

I am running Apache 1.3.29 on an OpenBSD 4.0 system, with Apache chrooted to /var/www. I have a perl script CGI (it has the .cgi extention, not .pl, but is actually a perl script) that I need to run. Currently, the script is written to run using the system perl interpreter, with the first line of the script being #!/ usr/bin/perl This obviously doesn't work, since when it runs as a CGI it is chrooted to /var/www, and can not see /usr/bin. Now I would think that Apache should be able to run this script using the perl module, which I have installed, but I can't seem to get it to work. Could someone point me to something that tells me how to properly enable/run perl scripts in Apache? I looked at mod_perl website, but all it says is to add a code block like the following: Alias /perl/ /home/httpd/perl/ PerlModule Apache::Registry <Location /perl> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options ExecCGI allow from all PerlSendHeader On </Location> which just gives me an 'Invalid command 'PerlModule' This would imply to me that mod_perl isn't being loaded, in spite of being installed, but that leaves me needing to know how to load the perl module. Adding a line like LoadModule mod_perl /usr/local/lib/mod_perl.so (which is the correct path to the mod_perl.so file) just gives me a "Can't locate API module structure `mod_perl' in file /usr/local/ lib/ mod_perl.so: Unable to resolve symbol" What am I missing here? How can I get Apache to run perl scripts? Thanks for any assistance that can be provided ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service INC. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
