Starting nginx: [emerg]: unknown directive "perl_set" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:41

[chittis]

Hi,
  I'm getting an unknown directive "perl_set" error - I have in my configuration file :

user www-data;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
    # multi_accept on;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;

    access_log	/var/log/nginx/access.log;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    #keepalive_timeout  0;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    tcp_nodelay        on;

    gzip  on;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";

    perl_set $client_ip '
    sub {
        my $r = shift;
        my $xff = $r->header_in("x-forwarded-for");
        if (!$xff) {
            return $r->remote_addr;
        } else {
            if ($xff =~ /([0-9\.]+).*/) {
                return $1;
            } else {
                return $xff;
            }
        }
    }
    ';

    # create a zone called tellapart_one, able to hold 320K IP addresses. 
    limit_zone   tellapart_one  $binary_remote_addr  20m;

    # create zone called tellapart_two, with 320 IP addresses,
    # such that rate of requests is at most 1 per s. 
    limit_req_zone  $binary_remote_addr  zone=tellapart_two:20m   rate=10r/s;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I downloaded nginx 0.76 and confgured it with the perl module.

Thanks,
