[NBLUG/talk] perl problems

[Sean]

I am attempting to install a program that utilizes perl to add
functionality to my Apache2 web server. I have been working with
someone who has narrowed the problem down to one file,
75_mod_perl.conf. The program we are working with is called Metadot.

We have PHP and Perl installed and running on the system, but it
appears that Perl cannot locate the perl scipts for this program. We
have attempted to tell it where to look, but it appears to have no
effect. Posted below is the /var/log/apache2/error_log, and second the
75_mod_perl.conf

We were hoping that someone might be able to tell us what we are doing
wrong. Thank you ahead of time for your assistance.
