I'm having some difficulties with the perl installation on Linux Mandrake and RedHat distro's. Mysql in MCPAN does not install properly as should, but I seemed to have managed by installing zlib-devel rpm.
Now, when I go to configuring the apache conf files, and restart apache and httpd, the message it can not find the API in perl_module, or file not found or path not correct to libperl.so
Has anyone ever had this prob, and knows how to solve?
I have the Windows installation running, without a prob, but my servers cannot keep up with Win2K...
Please help!

  I thought perl always installed with default Linux installation. Well, at least new distributions that I am running lately.
  
  In either case, if you can't install Perl, start from even behind... start with your GCC/Binutils installation... then compile Perl ...and so forth. Try not to go RPM too much...sometimes it's just good to do it from the source... (my opinion)
