installed mod_perl, but no MOD_PERL in ENV

I just compiled and installed mod_perl 2.0.3 for apache Apache/2.2.8
Did a LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so in httpd.conf

No errors and get the following in logs when bounce httpd service:
[Tue Aug 05 22:44:03 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Tue Aug 05 22:44:04 2008] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)
[Tue Aug 05 22:44:04 2008] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Tue Aug 05 22:44:04 2008] [notice] Digest: done
[Tue Aug 05 22:44:04 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_perl/2.0.3 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations

However, I don't see the MOD_PERL entry in ENV, and when I print $CGI::MOD_PERL value to browser, it is 0.
Not sure why I don't see this as it *seems* that mod_perl is integrated.

System info:

Apache: 2.2.8
mod_perl: 2.0.3
CGI perl module: 3.28
perl: v5.8.8
OS: RedHat Fedora 8 Linux kernel -- 2.6.25.6-27.fc8

A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Jayson,

I've used $ENV{MOD_PERL} to print the version of mod_perl installed. Also, you should be able to see it on your ServerSignature. Hope that helps.

Just because mod_perl is installed doesn't mean that whatever script you
are using to print $ENV{MOD_PERL} is being run under mod_perl. What does
the relevant section of your httpd.conf look like.

I'm assuming that you are trying to run CGI's you were previously
running under mod_cgi using mod_perl. Have you added anything to your
httpd.conf to actually tell your CGI's to run under mod_perl?
