What version did yum update to?

My version is:
[igg at nialglin1 ~]$ yum list mod_perl
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
mod_perl.i386                            2.0.1-1.fc4             
installed

I've tried to upgrade this further, but no banana.  Apparently  
there's a 2.0.2, but my yum at least doesn't upgrade that far.

Don't know what "perl-status" is.  Mine reports 404.

To make sure that mod_perl is running, the installer puts a file  
called mod_perl_test.pl in the same directory as serve.pl (the OME  
entry point), then tries to retrieve it using a URL.
If you answered 'n' to the "Use Apache2 configuration for developers"  
question (or used the default), then serve.pl and mod_perl_test.pl  
should be in /OME/perl2.  Otherwise they will be in src/perl2/  
relative to the folder containing the install.pl you ran.

If you go to this URL: http://localhost/perl2/mod_perl_test.pl using  
your browser, presumably you get a 404.
Do you get any error messages when you do:
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart
How about when right after that you say:
sudo tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
and
sudo tail /var/log/httpd/access_log

Probably we would need all of your httpd conf files (/etc/httpd/conf/ 
httpd.conf and /OME/conf/httpd2*) to diagnose this.

As a brief rant, I'd like to point out that the mod_perl project has  
graciously provided us with an abundance of ways to activate,  
configure, and use mod_perl.  At last count, this was three mutually  
incompatible mechanisms.  The code changes necessary for OME to  
support FC 4 included this third "new and improved" way to accomplish  
the exact same thing.  It could very well be that a fourth "new and  
improved" mechanism has been dreamed up despite the so-called  
"stable" 2.0 release.  Or it could simply be due to a mis- 
configuration in one or more of the configuration files.
