Table 14-1. Migrating from dbmmanage to htdbm
The -m and -s options work with both dbmmanage and htdbm, enabling the use of the MD5 or SHA1
algorithms for hashing passwords, respectively.
When creating a new database with htdbm, the -c option must be used.
For more on this topic, refer to the following documentation on the Apache Software Foundation’s
website:

14.2.4.5. The mod_perl Module
The configuration for mod_perl has been moved from httpd.conf into the file
/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf. For this file to be loaded, and hence for mod_perlto work, you
must have the statement Include conf.d/*.conf in your httpd.conf as described in Section
14.2.1.3.
Occurances of Apache:: in your httpd.conf must be replaced with ModPerl::. Additionally, the
manner in which handlers are registered has been changed.
This is a sample Apache HTTP Server 1.3 mod_perl configuration:
Directory /var/www/perl
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
/Directory
This is the equivalent mod_perl for Apache HTTP Server 2.0:
Directory /var/www/perl
SetHandler perl-script
PerlModule ModPerl::Registry
PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry::handler
Options +ExecCGI
/Directory
Most modules for mod_perl 1.x should work without modification with mod_perl 2.x. XS modules
will require recompilation and may possibly require minor Makefile modifications.
