Introduction to mod_perl (part 3): Non-privileged Install
You know how to get mod_perl up and running on servers where you are a privileged user, but on machines where you are not privileged, it's a bit trickier. Let this article be your guide.
As you have seen from my previous articles, mod_perl enabled Apache consists of two main components: Perl modules and Apache itself. While installing Apache without root privileges is a very easy task, one should know how to install Perl modules in non-system wide location. In this article I'll show different ways to tackle this task.
In the examples used in this article I'll use stas as a username, and /home/stas as a home directory of that user.
