Run the command: nginx -t  
Error log:  
[emerg]: “perl\_modules” directive is not allowed here in

Who can tell me how to deal with the problem?

I have solved the problem  
move:  
perl\_modules /redmine/extra/svn;  
perl\_require Redmine.pm;  
to :/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

But redmine.pm still can not load successfully, error message is:

[emerg]: require\_pv(“Redmine.pm”) failed: "Can’t locate  
Apache2/Module.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl/lib /etc/perl  
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5

I saw inside the file like this:  
use Apache2:: Module;  
use Apache2:: Access;  
use Apache2:: ServerRec qw ();  
use Apache2:: RequestRec qw ();  
use Apache2:: RequestUtil qw ();  
use Apache2:: Const qw (: common: override: cmd\_how);  
use APR:: Pool ();  
use APR:: Table ();

# Use Apache2:: Directive qw ();

Nginx is kind of how does the corresponding statement?
