no, the mp2 MakeMaker tools serve many purposes, and installing into Apache2 is just one of them. another is, for instance, letting XS modules know where the mod_perl header files and typemaps are, or (IIRC) adding things that, say, win32 needs to know about. so no, they stay. but now pure perl modules won't need them. --Geoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
