This may depend on the way the rpm was made, but it might have happened that mod_perl-2 was installed relative to an Apache2/ subdirectory (so as to not overwrite existing mod_perl-1 files). Does perl -MApache2 -Mmod_perl -e 'print $mod_perl::VERSION' report the upgraded mod_perl-2? > I tried upgrading via CPAN, I get the error "Cannot > install mod_perl/1.999.21 on top of mod_perl/1.29." That means that mod_perl wants to install things relative to an Apache2/ subdirectory. Try configuring as perl Makefile.PL MP_INST_APACHE2=1 .... which will do this for you. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Installing_mod_perl_from_Source for further details. > Is there some way I can uninstall mod_perl 1.29 so > that I can start using mod_perl 1.99? With the installation into the Apache2/ subdirectory, it's possible to have both mod_perl-1 and mod_perl-2 installs in the same perl tree - this may be advantageous if you want to upgrade while still keeping the mod_perl-1 installation running. After installing mod_perl-2, you have to adjust @INC to see things under the Apache2/ subdirectory - you can do this by putting a use Apache2; in a startup.pl, or a PerlModule Apache2 directive in httpd.conf. See http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#Accessing_the_mod_perl_2_0_Modules for further details. -- best regards, randy kobes
