[TriLUG] apache/mod_perl question

[Owen Berry]

Yes, I am running apache2 under Gentoo. However, another caveat I forgot
to mention is that I am not running mod_perl on this box. I *am* running
it on a FC3 box, and it uses modules/mod_perl.so in the configuration.

The mod_perl package in Portage has a description of "An embedded Perl
interpreter for *Apache2*". Have you tried that with Apache2?
