I guess that in order for us to assist you, that you'll need to let us know what it is you are trying to accomplish. RedHat 7.2 generally is well configured for the 'average' users out of the box.

What are you attempting to configure in Perl?

Hello,
First check to see if you have mod_perl installed. rpm -q mod_perl

Then modify the apache configuration file httpd.conf to enable the perl module. You should have some lines that look something like this:

Alias /perl/ /var/www/perl/

SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI

Good luck

Hello,
mod_perl Incorporates a perl interpreter into the Apache web server, so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code. I've got mod_perl-1.24-6.i386.rpm installed on my RedHat 7.0 box. You can find it at rpmfind.net/linux/RPM

Good luck!
