hi, i just ran into a *possible* bug in Makefile.PL: if one wants to seamlessly build apache, mod_perl and other modules using apaci with Makefile.PL, there is no way to *activate* other modules, because they only get *enabled*: perl Makefile.PL USE_APACI=1 ADD_MODULE=src/modules/fastcgi/libfastcgi.a APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/httpd.fcgi results in: [...] PerlConnectionApi...........enabled PerlServerApi...............enabled PerlSections................disabled (enable with PERL_SECTIONS=1) PerlSSI.....................disabled (enable with PERL_SSI=1) Will run tests as User: 'nobody' Group: 'root' (cd ../apache_1.3.9 && CC="cc" ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a --prefix=/usr/local/httpd.fcgi --enable-module=src) Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.9 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout) + activated perl module (modules/perl/libperl.a) configure:Error: No such module named 'src' [...] the problem apprears to be the following if/else statement in lines 912-917 of Makefile.PL: if(/([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)/) { $cmd .= " --enable-module=$1"; } elsif(m:(src/modules/[^/]+/[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*):) { $cmd .= " --activate-module=$1"; } obviously the evaluation should be turned around, because the ([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*) evaluates true every time: if(m:(src/modules/[^/]+/[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*):) { $cmd .= " --activate-module=$1"; } elsif(/([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)/) { $cmd .= " --enable-module=$1"; } ... which results in a successful build. greets Udo Rader
