Do you want to download another 10MB tarball or a 50K patch?  That's what
I thought. :-)  (Ok, I know you've got a T1 at home, but remember other
people aren't so lucky.)
 
There's already two patches on the server (one last night and one this
morning)- you only need the latest as the patches are cumulative.  (Do
people like this?  Do you want to reverse the last patch and then patch
with the new, or do you prefer downloading all patches and patching them
in order which is more like the Linux kernel patches are done?)

One of two likely scenerios:

1) Your version of Perl wasn't correct or you had a conflicting
Perl module.  Turn off apache (/etc/rc.d/init/httpd-lkb stop), uninstall
perl, wipe out /usr/lib/perl5, install the perl-5.00503-6 RPM or
equivalent, re-run install_perlmodules.sh and install_apache.sh, and
restart apache.

2) /home/lkb_cvs/main doesn't contain a recent CVS tree, hence Apache
can't find the mod_perl modules.  Get the tree, and restart apache.

Or if you want email me the errors and I can give you a better idea. 

I gotta get my butt to work, it's getting late.  I'll be on IRC if you or
anyone want to talk though.
