Installing Mod_Perl with Debian

Is there a packag I can apt-get? I tried doing it by source but it gives me errors.

for woody (I'd assume potato also) it's apache-perl (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/apache-perl.html), and as a DSO libapache-mod-perl (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/libapache-mod-perl.html)

Thanks Stiles

I have been trying to do it by source. I downloaded the the latest mod_perl and apache. Extracted them and in the mod_perl source ran "perl Makefile.PL" everything runs okay until it drops out with an error message stating that this version of mod_perl needs apache_1.3.0. The Apache source I downloaded was 1.3.14. Any ideas.

P.s I tried apache-perl and libapache-mod-perl but in the httpd.conf under the modules listing, mod_perl was commented out. Is that correct? I tried uncommenting it out but it couldnt find the module when I started apache.

Thanks again

With apache-perl you shouldn't have to load a module (mod-perl is compiled into the apache kernel), but libapache-mod-perl you will have to uncomment mod_perl in your httpd.conf (don't know why that didn't work). Anything further than this I really don't know (I've never used mod_perl or installed it). Is there anything you have to do with the mime types in your httpd.conf?

I got it working. Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
