OK, I looked into it a bit more and I believe that this happens if you
do configure httpd in a way that no modules are being loaded
dynamically, then the httpd build procedure skips the httpd.exp step. I
use the following to configure modperl:
perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 APACI_ARGS="--enable-module=most
--enable-shared=max --disable-shared=perl --disable-shared=include"
I do get a problem in this configuration with homegrown perl compiles
though, this is due to the different dlopen() libraries used by perl and
apache if AIX it a level 4.3 or greater. The perl delivered with AIX 4.3
appears to work well with Apache.
The problem here is that both perl and apache come with a dlopen
emulation package which is needed only on AIX versions <4.3. Apache does
properly disable its copy if at AIX >= 4.3, but the perl 5.005_3 does
not know that yet as it is too old and must be overridden at build time
to not use its copy of the emulation routines. If both packages uses the
AIX native dlopen it works well.
