Apache 2.0 binaries can be obtained from http://httpd.apache.org/dist/binaries/.

Perl 5.6.1 or 5.8.0 binaries can be obtained from http://cpan.org/ports/index.html.

For mod_perl 2.0, as of this writing only the binaries for the Win32 platform are available, kindly prepared and maintained by Randy Kobes. Once mod_perl 2.0 is released, various OS distributions will provide binary versions for their platforms.

If you are not on a Win32 platform you can safely skip to the next section.

There are two ways of obtaining a binary mod_perl 2.0 package for Win32:

PPM
The first, for ActivePerl users, is through PPM, which assumes you already have ActivePerl (build 6xx or later), available from http://www.activestate.com/, and a Win32 Apache 2.0 binary, available from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/. In installing this, you may find it convenient when transcribing any Unix-oriented documentation to choose installation directories that do not have spaces in their names (e.g., C:\Apache2).

After installing Perl and Apache 2.0, you can then install mod_perl 2.0 via the PPM utility. ActiveState does not maintain mod_perl in its PPM repository, so you must get it from somewhere else. One way is simply to do:

C:\> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl-2.ppd

Another way, which will be useful if you plan on installing additional Apache modules, is to set the repository within the PPMshell utility as follows (the lines are broken here for readability):

PPM> set repository theoryx5 
      http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer

or, for PPM3:

PPM> rep add theoryx5 
      http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer

mod_perl 2.0 can then be installed as:

PPM> install mod_perl-2

This will install the necessary modules under an Apache2/ subdirectory in your Perl tree, so as not to disturb an existing Apache/ directory from mod_perl 1.0. See the next section for instructions on how to add this directory to the @INC path for searching for modules.

The mod_perl PPM package also includes the necessary Apache DLL mod_perl.so; a post-installation script that will offer to copy this file to your Apache2 modules directory (e.g., C:\Apache2\modules) should be run. If this is not done, you can get the file mod_perl-2.tar.gz from http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/x86/. This file, when unpacked, contains mod_perl.so in the top-level directory.

Note that the mod_perl package available from this site will always use the latest mod_perl sources compiled against the latest official Apache release; depending on changes made in Apache, you may or may not be able to use an earlier Apache binary. However, in the Apache Win32 world it is a particularly good idea to use the latest version, for bug and security fixes.

Apache/mod_perl binary
At ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/ you can find an archive called Apache2.tar.gz containing a binary version of Apache 2.0 with mod_perl 2.0. This archive unpacks into an Apache2 directory, underneath which is a blibsubdirectory containing the necessary mod_perl files (enabled with a PerlSwitches directive in httpd.conf). Some editing of httpd.conf will be necessary to reflect the location of the installed directory. See the Apache2.readme file for further information.

This package, which is updated periodically, is compiled against recent CVS sources of Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0. As such, it may contain features, and bugs, not present in the current official releases. Also for this reason, these may not be binary-compatible with other versions of Apache 2.0/mod_perl 2.0.

Apache/mod_perl/Perl 5.8 binary distribution
Because mod_perl 2.0 works best with Perl 5.8 in threaded environments such as Apache 2.0 with the win32 MPM, there is a package including Perl 5.8, Apache 2.0, and mod_perl 2.0. To get this, look for the perl-5.8-win32-bin.tar.gz package at ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/, and extract it to C:\, which will give you an Apache2 directory containing the Apache 2.0 installation along with mod_perl 2.0, and a Perl directory containing the Perl installation (you should add this Perl directory to your path).
