i just installed suse 7.0 yesterday. i was psyched to find
that i could install mod_perl (dso) with yast. i then fired
up the cpan shell and installed Bundle::CPAN, Bundle::LWP,
and HTML::Mason. then i had to create my mason handler.pl
and do some httpd.conf tweaking. then i restarted and tried
accessing the page under mason. result: "document contains
no data" dialog in my browser, and no msgs in the error log,
even under LogLevel error. commented out the mason lines in
httpd.conf, restarted, and lived with flat html files.
wasted 30-60 mins that i could have used to do my actual
work.
