Install and configure Perl Apache in Windows XP

Install and configure Perl in Windows XP
Download:
Apache 1.3.29:
ActivePerl: http://activestate.com/store/download.aspx? Prdguid = 81fbce82-6bd5-49bc-a915-08d58c2648ca
Go to view archive of older releases download ActivePerl-5.6.1.624-TRIAL2-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.msi
Mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/download/index.html
Mod_perl 1.0: Version 1.30 for use with Apache 1.3.x (installation instructions are provided at the same time, but detailed enough)

1) double-click the ActivePerl-5.6.1.624-TRIAL2-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.msi according to the installation wizard to install. For example, the last installation path is c: \ Perl \ bin.
Test in command line
C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ User> Perl-V
If the version number is displayed normally, the installation is successful.

2. Compile and obtain mod_perl.so;to decompress mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz and go to the directory for execution:
C: \ modperl_src> Perl makefile. pl apache_src = installation directory of Apache
(E.g.: F: \ mod_perl-1.0-current \ mod_perl-1.30> Perl makefile. pl apache_src = E: \ APAC
He1329 \ apache)
Then execute (the nmake command must install microsofe visual c ++ 5.0 or above ):
C: \ modperl_src> nmake
C: \ modperl_src> nmake Test
C: \ modperl_src> nmake install
The mod_perl.so file will be obtained under the modules directory of Apache.
3) Apache to support Perl
Add the following two lines to the end of the httpd. conf file # dynamic shared object (DSO) Support segment:
Loadmodule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
LoadFile "C:/perl/bin/perl56.dll"

Add the following lines to the end of # reconstruction of the complete module list from all available modules:
Addmodule mod_perl.c

Find # addhandler CGI-script. cgi and change it
Addhandler CGI-script. pl. cgi

Find the <ifmodule mod_alias.c> section and add a directory element to the above virtual directory:
<Directory "E:/proj/PHP">
AllowOverride all
Options indexes primary des execcgi
</Directory>

Note:
Generally, users prefer to write in Perl files.
#! /Usr/bin/perl
Most of the reason for writing this is to be compatible with Linux (UNIX ).
But assume that your perl directory is c: \ USR \ bin, and the Apache directory is D: \ apache2. then all yourProgramThe first line must be

1 .#! C:/usr/bin/perl.exe
2 .#! Usr/bin/perl
3 .#! Perl

One of the three types. C: \ USR \ bin must be added to the path in the 3rd types.
If you do not do this, when your scheme class is like http: // localhost/cgi-bin/printenv. pl (this program takes #! When/usr/bin/perl starts, an error is returned (view Apache logs ):

No such file or directory: Couldn't spawn child process: D:/apache2/cgi-bin/printenv. pl

The solution to this problem is not to modify httpd. conf or the registry. You can use both #! C:/usr/bin/perl.exe or install Apache and Perl in a directory (both in C: or in D :)
