mod_perl installed, but mod_perl.so file not created

[bennett]

I have a server with Apache 2.0.53 and Perl 5.8.5. I installed
mod_perl 2.0.2 using the standard command:

perl MakeFile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs

and got no error messages (sorry, I no longer have the complete output
that the installer displayed), however the installer gave the message
at the end:

[warning] You'll need to add the following to httpd.conf:
[warning]
[warning] LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
[warning]
[warning] depending on your build, mod_perl might not live in
[warning] the modules/ directory.

However, in my /usr/lib/httpd/modules directory, there are lots of .so
files, but no mod_perl.so file -- and I have searched my entire drive
on that machine but found no mod_perl.so file. If mod_perl was
installed successfully, why wasn't the file created and what should I
do?

Thanks,

-Bennett

are you sure that you installed it? did you run: make install?

That's your problem. Keep a log of the install file (it's what tee is
for).

Why not built it again using the same command and see where it puts it
this time? You could have done that in the time it's taken to get a
response here.
