Very Newbee to OSX Perl
I have been running cgi(s) created by MacPerl on an OS9 (Appleshare
6.3..) server for about 5 years.
I have now brought up an new server running OSX 10.3x.

I'm trying to upgrade Perl on a Jaguar system and it's telling me it

I'd just upgraded to OS X 10.3.6 from 10.2.8.

I have a completely functional version of Apache running, but I¹m trying to
upgrade the system by reinstalling Apache and mod_perl to create a fresh
beginning for to better diagnose my OSX mod_perl issues. For some reason I¹m

It would seem after many attempts to get anything of any level of complexity
running in mod_perl under OSX, that perhaps it can¹t be done. I have
libraries that work fine in the normal cgi-bin, but constantly produce 500
server errors when running from my mod_perl mod-cgi bin. I can ...
