installing mod_perl?

hi everyone,

I have installed apache 2 on ubuntu and it is running fine. Perl is not
running on Apache , however. I downloaded mod_perl-2.0.1 and tried
running the Makefile.pl to install.

I get a warning that says:

************* WARNING *************

Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm,
but libgdbm.so was not found.
You could just symlink it to /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3.0.0


Next I get a prompt for apxs, this is not installed so I just press
enter, as prompted.

After this the script requests the location of the Apache folder. This
is what I get:

Please provide the location of the Apache directory: /etc/apache2
[ error] Unable to open /etc/apache2/ap_release.h: No such file or
directory
[ error] Unable to determine server version, aborting.
[ error] Please specify MP_APXS or MP_AP_PREFIX.

I have done a find for the ap_release.h file and there is no such file
on my computer. I tried downloading apache and pointing the Mod_perl
script at the downloaded software but this also did not work. Using
apt-get dosen't work, I get invalid operation.

root@aptiva:/home/eddie # apt-get install mod_perl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package mod_perl

Help!

TIA

eddiec :-)
