Load Failure on RequestUtill.dll

I tried installing mod_perl (2.03) on my Win XP Pro (SP3) system (using ppm and the theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca repository). With perl58.dll and mod_perl.so added to http.conf, httpd (Apache 2.052) restarted correctly. But, if either PerlModule ModPerl::PerlRun or PerlModule ModPerl::Registry was added to httpd.conf, httpd start would fail.

After much trial and error, it appeared that Apache2::RequestUtil would not load because the corresponding RequestUtil.dll load failed. After looking at the imports in auto/Apache2/RequestUtil/RequestUtil.dll, it seemed that it tried to import the symbol modperl_pnotes which was not exported from the mod_perl.so downloaded by ppm.

The MD5 hash for the downloaded mod_perl.so is 6ac2e66ed1271dd89d484ea3b0b3b62f.

Was RequestUtil.dll built with a later version of mod_perl.so than is in the repository? Has anyone else seen this problem?

That MD5 has doesn't seem to match the corresponding one in our
repository. Could you try uninstalling mod_perl through the ppm
utility (as well as manually removing mod_perl.so), and then
reinstalling it? For Apache/2.0, the ppm package in our repository is
named mod_perl-2.0, so it should be installable via
C:\> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/mod_perl-2.0.ppd
Does that help with this problem?

Thanks for the suggestion. That corrected the problem. The MD5 hash for the newly downloaded mod_perl.so is 8bf6d79ce737b8e3ece9908cf87f961b. Now if I could only figure out what stupid thing I managed to do to get the wrong mod_perl ???
