Thanks for the link Chris. Nmake works fine. I used it to install
Apache-Session and Date-Format, which were the only mods I couldn't
get via ppm. The problem I'm having now is trying to get
Apache-Request (libapreq) installed. This is the final requirement for
me to install OI. The problem is that I found a ppm package for
mod_perl, and so I don't have the source. Of course Makefile.PL
complains about this, and I am unable to install libapreq. I realy
don't want to have to compile Apache & mod_perl from source. Is there
a way around this?

Thanks IA.
