Hi,

I want to use my existing perl installation (Activestate on NT, default on Unix/Linux) on both the unix and NT server's for cgi scripts, reason being that there's lots of sysadmin tasks and utilities written in Perl and I'd like to have just one installation to maintain.

I find it odd that MS devsuite tools must be installed to get more modules working on NT.

So my Q's are:
1. How to use my Perl installation of choice in iAS Apache, modify httpd.conf or is mod_perl module greatly involved?
Perhaps just get away with recompiling mod_perl for apache to use my preferred Perl installation?

2. What's the way to do this on NT? remove all system/user environment variables (LIB, PATH) that point to iAS's perl installation? Also recompile mod_perl to use Activestate or just change httpd.conf?

Ideally I'd like to rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/perl


Tnx!
