Install Problems..

Trying to install/Configure freeside, and running into problems.  I tried
to use cpan to install the various modules, but I don't think it worked
(using "install DBD::mysql" and so forth).  It LOOKED like it worked.
Anyway, I installed most of the stuff through FreeBSD's ports collection.
This system seems to requite a while pile of modules, which I do not
understand.  I've pretty much converted Emerald and Platypus to ASP on
previous jobs, so the system is usable, and didn't even need 1/6th of all
those modules!!

I want to use FreeSide for its "simplicity" (and free-ness).  Anyway, on to
the setup:
FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE, perl 5.005, MySQL, freeside-1.4.0pre7
I'm guessing its something to do with not finding global.asa?:
apache errorlog:

[Sat Jan 26 16:03:18 2002] [error] [asp] [44561] [error] Undefined
subroutine
&Apache::ASP::Compiles::_usr_local_www_garfield_freeside_config___global_asa
::menubar called at config-view.cgi line 1. <--> ,
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/ASP.pm line 1545

(this is when I click "configure" from my main menu screen)
httpd.conf is setup exactly as stated in the installation docs (except I
had to add a bunch of <Directory> statements to tell apache to allow
ExecCGI in the various dirs).
document root is /usr/local/www/garfield/freeside  (relative url is just /)
global.asa is in /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global/ (just like where the
docs say to put it, and the PerlSetVar points to it (in httpd.conf))

Any ideas/suggestions?
