After looking at the bumph about the apache rpm in YAST, it tells me (and I 
quote)
"This version of the Apache HTTP server has been compiled with the 
additional modules mod_perl and PHP3, which allows database access to 
mySQL, PostgresSQL and ADABAS D (on INTEL machines only). Install the 
packages mod_perl and mod_php to gain the features."

Why can't I find either of these packages on the CDs and why didn't I have 
this much trouble the first time round?
