mod_perl Dynamic Module

Loading the mod_perl Dynamic Module embeds a copy of the Perl interpreter inside the Apache Web Server. This allows you to speed up existing CGI scripts and also extend your Virtual Server web server in ways previously unavailable to most webmasters.

NOTE: Only the latest version of our Apache Web Server includes mod_perl Dynamic Module support.

Installation

Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH and do the following.

  1. Add the following line to the top of your ~/www/conf/httpd.conf file. 

    LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

  2. Issue the command below that matches your Virtual Server O/S to install the mod_perl software. 

    FreeBSD
% vinstall mod_perl

    NOTE: If your Virtual Server was ordered after Nov 22, 1999, you are likely running FreeBSD. To find out which O/S your Virtual Server is running, use the uname command: 

    % uname

    If your Virtual Server is not already running FreeBSD, Upgrade to a New FreeBSD Virtual Server today!
