Kevin,

  I am currently running Slackware 8.1 and there are problems with RT2 and
Slack 8.1.  You need to remove the perl package and recompile a version
from perl.com.  I am currently running Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.23 and MySQL
3.23.53.  I have downloaded but not compiled the mod_perl module for
Apache.  I am using Apache, MySQL and PHP straight from the Slack
install.

Stuart.
