All,
Im not sure if its your knowledge or you since of humor that I like so much.
I was reading about the DSO support for apache and php.  I wasn't real sure if Id have to
configure apache for perl or not (thats where I am running apache came from).  

Seth,
You have informed me (and what a good email it is..lol) that perl x.y.z was already on my system. 
But,!!
I got to tell you 2 things. First I aint the lord, not big or huge, and cant impress you fur $h!t.
 Apology in advance accepted.  And second, thanks for the info.  
You have been a big help.

Dave

Ps.  I think I made a friend.
