Setting up Mason via cpanel

[philote]

Not sure if this is the best place for this topic, I'll try the Perl forum if I need to.....

I'm working on a web host that uses cpanel and seems to have mod_perl installed. I got them to install HTML::Mason but can't figure out how to get it working. The only thing cpanel allows me to do is set Apache handlers but I also have shell access.

Mason requires, as a bare minimum, the following in the config file:

    PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler

    <Location />
      SetHandler   perl-script
      PerlHandler  HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
    </Location>

Any idea how to get this working???

Doesn't Mason require mod_perl?

No, it doesn't require it so if need be I can try using it from a CGI script.

Maybe I'm wrong about mod_perl being installed. Or I can't use PerlHandler or PerlModule in the .htaccess file. The web host lists mod_perl as one of its perl modules, along with the associated Apache::* modules. So is it possible I just can't use PerlHandler in the .htaccess file? And is there anything else I can try?

I did get Mason working from CGI scripts just fine. But I'd still like to see it working under mod_perl.
