[plug] further LAMP

Hi guys!

Trust the days of Christmas have been good for you all.

UM.

Thanks Cameron for the note that the .deb perl is fairly much 
'perl-base'.  I got that impression.

What does one do when something doesn't work on Debian?  Cameron says 
'don't wipe the disk...' but is there a clever
Windows-like repair procedure?  Say something quite structural .... apt-get 
or dpkg ... how would repair happen??

Explanation of previous post:  I installed apache perl and php at one stage 
and had apache working but php wouldn't (from apt-get).
I then started down the road of installing according to a couple of nice 
fat texts I recently bought and
saw there were a great many "--with-" and "--enable-" options.  So this is 
basically how I came to the conclusion that I needed
to work from sources.  Also, there are many pages on the net installing 
from source....

I've also had a look at a package called ApacheToolbox.  This also 
indicates a heap of options.  I want it all.. (Freddie & Queen)

Sorry guys, I'm a bit of a Windows man (in my thinking).  Perhaps I'm 
listening to too many marketing gurus ...
When I install things I want every bloody option even though I may not ever 
use them!! (just like Windows)
If it then becomes a problem THEN I'll rethink it ... rather than try to 
think of all the possibilities before installing ...

Is there a 'SELECT ALL' option!?!

Thanks again for the replies at least I learn ...!!!

Steve
