Dear,
When I try to install mod_perl on Windows I get the following error:
====================
Install 'mod_perl.ppd' version 2.0.3-dev in ActivePerl 5.8.8.817.
====================
(...)
Installing C:\Program Files\Perl\site\lib\MyTest\Util.pm
Installing C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\mp2bug
Installing C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\mp2bug.bat
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
unlink C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\mp2bug
unlink C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\mp2bug.bat
(...)
Anyone an idea how to solve this apart from re-installing Perl into C:\Perl? |

In the world of servers it is always advised not use use spaces in folder names. The only way to get it installed is to reinstall Perl in e.g. c:\perl
X
MOD: Must server things come from Unix/Linux and that's why they don't work with spaces in the folder names |

I tryed with C:\Perl as installation folder (although I knew that would work). The output is:
(...)
Installing C:\Perl\bin\mp2bug.bat
The Perl part is now installed.
To complete the installation,
Read the Readme First in the zip file !

Successfully installed mod_perl version 2.0.3-dev in ActivePerl 5.8.8.817.
So I am wondering what is done after the installation of mp2bug.bat, ie what is failing when there is a space in the folder name. That should help solve the error, because I am still convinced that it can be used with a space in the folder name. |

I found the solution. The problem is the following line in the mod_perl.ppd:
<INSTALL EXEC="PPM_PERL" HREF="install_modperl">install_modperl</INSTALL>
which only displays a message!
Changing the line to
<INSTALL EXEC="perl" HREF="install_modperl">install_modperl</INSTALL>
works fine! |

Notes on the mod_perl site:
.... install, if possible, these packages to locations without spaces in their names (eg, C:\Perl for Perl and C:\Apache2 for Apache 2.0).
And:
.... In installing this, you might avoid some future problems by choosing installation directories that do not have spaces in their names (eg, C:/Apache2).
EXEC="PPM_PERL" is official used.
