Hey Alex,

I use mod_perl for most of my heavy duty apps but I feel your pain because it
took me awhile to get it going too- for a chat/e-communities type site no less.

Two questions I have:

1) What is your httpd.conf look like?  Do you have all the necessary components
   to have Apache process the script as a mod_perl script?

2) Have you checked the environment vars to see if you have the mod_perl
   vars?

For instance, on my 2.0.45 server, I get this...

MOD_PERL="mod_perl/1.99_09"

On an 1.3.x server, I have

MOD_PERL="mod_perl/1.25"


I have a script called printenv.mpl that does this.  Its the same as
printenv.cgi but I use .mpl to identify my mod_perl scripts.
