I installed XAMPP 7.2.7 version but Apache keeps on failing with this error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 522 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 13 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf:
Cannot load modules/mod_perl.so into server: dlopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/modules/mod_perl.so, 10): Symbol not found: _modperl_handler_anon_add
Referenced from: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/modules/mod_perl.so
Expected in: dynamic lookup
I tried looking at the httpd.conf, httpd-xampp.conf files and tried to modify those lines hoping that it will fix the errors but it didn't. So it seems like the problem is with the mod_perl.so file but I can't open the file.
I re-installed XAMPP several times and downgraded to 7.1.x but the same error occurred.
Forgot to mention this: I'm using macbook pro high sierra 10.13.5
you don't say what you did to modify the lines but I just had this issue and commented out line 13 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf and it's working fin after a restart - obviously this means that you aren't loading the Pearl module but may work as an interim until you can find out what's wrong with that
