XAMPP 8.0.0.0 on Centos 8, Apache can't load modules/mod_perl.so error:
Can't load modules/mod_perl.so libnsl.so.1 and then apache server does not start because the configuration checker fails.

If I look in /opt/lampp/modules, mod_perl.so is there.

Just uninstalled XAMPP 8.0 and installed XAMPP 7.4.13 and getting the same error.

Google for "CentOS libnsl.so.1", obviously not pre-installed in CentOS.

After looking around, libnsl.so.1 is not available. Libnsl.so.2 installed fine, but XAMPP is still throwing the error looking for the older version of the library.

I wrote this earlier when pkg.org wasn't responding, but I see that libnsl.so.1 says it's on the CentOS 8 base. There's a DVD1 I need to create. I'll see if it's there.
