When I don't know where apache is installed, how do I do this? I

then why did you specifically ask for a way to do it on the command
line without loading mod_perl ?
`httpd -v` is the correct approach.
honestly, your two questions make no sense in context of one
another. why don't you tell us what you're trying to accomplish-- in
the big picture.
if you're not running something under mod_perl, you're going to have
to run a script that figures out which httpd would be called.
remember, you can install 1,2,100 different versions of apache in
different places. you need to figure out which one would be right
( try using find to get them all, or which for the default for your
user's env )
then just call `httpd -v` from a perl script as a shell command, and
trap the output. i forget the name of the app that does that...
ipc::run ?
