Here is Makefile.PL from Apache-Peek, most of which should be moved to that module. I'm talking about functions:
satisfy_mp_generation; satisfy_perl_generation; wanted_mp_generation;
the outer functions look ok. I'd leave satsify_perl_generation for the users themselves, at least in it's current state.
Thanks Geoff,
So the remaining issue is where to put this module. As I suggested before it shouldn't go into Apache2/ but to the normal @INC. So that Makefile.PL can find it without trying to load Apache2, for mod_perl 1.x modules.
Since it'll be distributed with mp2, users who have no mp2 won't have it and I think it's fine. So the 3rd party module author can do:
eval { require ModPerl::ModuleSetup }
and if that has failed then the user has only mp1 installed and so should Makefile.PL proceed with the build against mp1, otherwise if successful use
satisfy_mp_generation to figure out which version to build against.
We might release it on CPAN too or/and bundle with mp1 as well later on.
