Yes, here's one: I'm strongly opposed to this suggestion. I have always built
mod_perl + apache in one single step (perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1
&& make install), I like the fact that I install just the binary httpd wherever
I feel like, I don't want it to go away.
If you're concerned about the two different ways to build, hop on over to
Apache-land, they started it :-)
