[TriLUG] apache/mod_perl question

[William Sutton]

Hummm...

I now have apache2 and its version of mod_perl installed (had to update 
/etc/portage/package.keywords with the following):

www-apache/mod_perl ~x86
perl-core/CGI ~x86

unemerged existing apache, apache2, Apache-Test, mod_perl, emerged new 
apache & mod_perl.

Still not quite functioning....current setup:

In httpd.conf, after the default IfDefine lines for /server-status and 
/server-info, I added

# mod perl stuff
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
<Location />
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</Location>

configtest returns:

maul # /etc/init.d/apache2 configtest
 * Checking Apache Configuration ...
 * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
Syntax error on line 1090 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module 
not included in the server configuration                                         
[ !! ]
maul # 

I added

AddModule mod_perl.c

(and when that didn't work, for .so) to the beginning of the config block.  
Apache seems to think that AddModule isn't valid syntax.

so, back to where I was I guess....any suggestions?
