I have the first part done but i cant get apache to load when i make the entry into htpp.conf file. If any perl guru could tell me what this line does "use lib dirname(__FILE__) . "/../lib";" it would be a help.

use lib dirname(__FILE__) . "/../lib";"

dirname(__FILENAME__) gets the directory path containing the current file (the script or module that called it). . appends the following string to this path. use lib means look for libraries in the path following it.

Hope that helps. I haven't used Maypole at all. If you get no joy here, try perlmonks.org - a very good perl forum.
