First off, I'm new to Apache and mod_perl. I've done a
bunch of reading, downloaded the mod_perl.tar.gz file &
uncompressed it. I'm installing to a Win32 environment
(Win XP Pro SP2 Build 2600). I tried following the
install instructions, which say to open the
/src/modules/win23/mod_perl.dsp project file in MS Visual
Studio. My version of Visual Studio is MDE (.NET) 2003
version 7.1.3088.
When I try to open the .dsp file, Studio.NET prompts me to
"convert" the project file. It then craps out saying the
project file (mod_perl.dsp) is corrupt.
I'm not sure if this will get you any further,
but you might try building this just from the
command line, as described in INSTALL.win32:
perl Maekfile.PL APACHE_SRC=C:\Path\to\Apache
nmake
However, if you're new to Apache and mod_perl, and
there's no other considerations, it's probably
better to start with Apache/2 and mod_perl-2, which
especially on Win32, offer significant improvements
over Apache/1 and mod_perl-1. Again, if you're
just starting out, it may be easier initially
to install a pre-compiled ppm binary package for
mod_perl; how to do this is described at
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html
