Documentation help wanted for specific topics

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Okay, succeeded by using Apache 2.2.

I suggest to add the following to the Windows installation docs.

1.) Do *not* use Apache HTTPD 2.4. Use 2.2 instead. (This might apply
to all platforms, btw.)
2.) Do *not* use Strawberry Perl, unless you really know what you are doing.
     Despite a lot of efforts by the Strawberry Maintainers, there are still
     glitches when installing modules, in particular for DBD::mysql. (For
     example, mysqladmin.exe *must* be in the path.
3.) The updated list of modules to install via PPM:

  ppm install AppConfig TimeDate DateTime DateTime-TimeZone DBI
DBD-mysql Template-Toolkit
  ppm install MailTools GD Chart GDGraph Net-LDAP-Express Email-Reply
Email-Send Math-Random-ISAAC
  ppm install Template-GD MIME-tools XML-Twig PatchReader
  ppm install Authen-SASL Net-SMTP-SSL Authen-Radius JSON-RPC JSON-XS Test-Taint
  ppm install HTML-Scrubber Encode-Detect HTML-FormatText-WithLinks
  ppm install File-Slurp IO-stringy

    Note, that ppm is happily installing multiple modules in one execution.
