NAME

mod_perl 1.0 Win32 Installation Instructions

Description

This document discusses how to install mod_perl 1.0 under Win32, both in building from sources and in installing pre-compiled binary packages.

Building from sources

You will need

  • patience - mod_perl is considered alpha under Win32.

  • MSVC++ 5.0+, Apache version 1.3-dev or higher and Perl 5.004_02 or higher.

  • As of version 1.24_01, mod_perl will build on Win32 ActivePerls based on Perl-5.6.x (builds 6xx). For binary compatibility you should use the same compiler in building mod_perl that was used to compile your Perl binary; for ActivePerl, this means using VC++ 6.

Obtain the mod_perl sources from CPAN:

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DO/DOUGM/mod_perl-1.xx.tar.gz

When unpacked, using Winzip or similar tools, a subdirectory mod_perl-1.xx will be created.

There are two ways to build mod_perl - with MS Developer Studio, and through command-line arguments to 'perl Makefile.PL'. In both cases Apache should previously have been built and installed - if you are using a binary build of Apache, make sure that you obtain a binary build that includes the Apache libraries and header files.
