ServerSignature is already on:

httpd.conf:ServerSignature On

Can we draw any conclusions from this?

I have a number of handler configured like so:

<Location /calendar>
        SetHandler perl-script
	  PerlHandler MY::calendar
	  Order...
</Location>

These work fine and use the following pragmas;

package MY::calendar;

use Apache2::Const qw(OK DECLINED NOT_FOUND);
use APR::Table;
use Apache2::RequestUtil ();
use strict;
use Calendar::Simple;
use Date::Calc qw(Month_to_Text);
use CGI;
use Template;
use warnings;

$| = 1;

sub handler {
...

The issue with SOAP::Lite is interesting. During the install you get 
a list of transports;

...
Standalone HTTP server   [*] HTTP::Daemon   [ yes ]
Apache/mod_perl server   [ ] Apache              [ no ]
FastCGI server                [ ] FCGI                  [ no ]
POP3 server                   [ ] MIME::Parser      [ no ]            
...

I'm not sure if the formating will show it here but SOAP::Lite 
doesn't see mod_perl installed. However is does install as does 
SOAP::Apache so presumbly I can use in the same way I do with my 
other modules. 

Still I have the feeling that my installation is not standard and the 
mis-match in version is a concern.

Would any one recommend a course of action? Should I remove the 
binary RPMs that my package manager installed and install from 
source?

Thanx,
Dp.
