installing mod_perl in RedHat 7.2 1

[ryen]

I've got apache and plain old perl scripts running, but I want to get mod_perl installed. I installed the PERL 5.6.1 package successfully, and the mod_perl 1.26 package. I then ran "/usr/sbin/httpd -l" and the only compiled-in modules were: http_core.c, & mod_so.c. I then checked the modules directory under the server root, to see if there was a DSO file for mod_perl, and "mod_perl.so" was not there. Does anyone know what I need to do? I'm fairly new to linux, so I'm not as efficient as most. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

PS. I already posted this under the perl (?) forum, but realized this forum may better suit my question.

The file would be libperl.so, not mod_perl.so. //Daniel

Awesome, thanks Daniel. I was actually going to ask about that, but forgot. Now I could just run it as a DSO, but does anyone know how I could get it compiled into the apache source to improve efficiency? Any help would be appreciated. And thanks again Daniel, much appreciated.

To make a compiled in module, you would have to recompile everything and use the --activate-module switch to the Apache configuration script. I don't remember exactly how everything should be configured, but I hope this sheds some light on it. //Daniel
