I want to run Perl on an Apache webserver in Xampp for Windows, but when i want to install Perl from the documentation here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html, there is 1 line i don't realy understand:

C:\modperl_src> perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=\Path\to\Apache2

What do they mean with the path to Apache and makefile.pl? Is it the path to the Apache folder or is it something else? I know this might look a very stupid question, but it is the first time i have to do this, so i want to do a good job.
Thanks in advance,

Yes, It is the path to Apache 2. Makefile is used to "make" in *NIX.

I tried this but cmd gives me this in response: Please repair your Module::CoreList at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 49. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 64. Compilation failed in require at Makefile.PL line 37. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 37. – kasperB Mar 21 at 8:58
Could you try to install a Perl version prior to current? ( You are using ActivePerl, right? ) – Jimmy van Beele Mar 21 at 9:09
