Responding to myself here.

I think I have apache-perl working correctly now.

But now I think I am having perl problems as my
apache-perl error log shows this:

[Sat Jun 14 17:56:33 2003] [error] Can't locate Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl

I have perl installed:

steelhead:~# dpkg -l perl*
||/ Name Version Description
+++-====================-====================-========================================================
ii perl 5.8.0-17 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report
Language.
ii perl-base 5.8.0-17 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
ii perl-modules 5.8.0-17 Core Perl modules.

Googling around says maybe go to perl-5.6.
Tried installing that with 5.8 installed but no dice.
Then tried to remove perl-base but that is a big no-no.

Look what apt-get told me:

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
  perl-base

The one thing that "may" be my problem....is that a month ago I used
unstable in my sources.list in order to upgrade to KDE 3.1.2
(which is amazingly cool by the way)
and I used aptitude to do the job. Welp, aptitude upgraded my
entire system to unstable. Not what I intended and I was supposed
to "hold" all the packages marked for upgrade. (except for KDE of course)
I have since downgraded back to the testing version.

The point is that I am not totally sure what is going on under the hood
with my system.

But, again, any comments are welcome with what appears to be my perl problem.

Thanks,
Andy
