Hi,

I'm trying to install mod_perl 1.24 with Stronghold 3. I know stronghold
comes with mod_perl 1.22, but I want to use 1.24. So I'm trying to follow
Stas Bekman's instructions for installing mod_perl with Stronghold. He says
"edit /ServerRoot/src/modules/perl/Makefile and uncomment APACHE_SSL
directive". But in that file, this directive is not assigned anything at
all. It's like : APACHE_SSL = 
What value am I supposed to assign to this?
He also says install Stronghold without mod_perl, but I can't figure out
how to do that. Any inputs on how I can do this?

Apart from this, 'make' goes through fine. But when I run 'make test', I'm
getting some errors that don't make much sense to me. 

Syntax error on line 62 of /mnt/netapp/pramod/mod_perl-1.24/t/conf/httpd.conf:
Can't locate ExtUtils/testlib.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

still waiting for server to warm up...............not ok
server failed to start! (please examine t/logs/error_log) at t/TEST line 95.
*** Error code 9
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `run_tests'

What I'm not able to understand is, how is @INC being set to the above? I
looked in the whole of Stronghold and mod_perl-1.24 directories. The above
/export/home/build/.... is a non-existent directory and it obviously
complains.

I'm completely stuck with this since last evening. I tried a lot of
experiments meddling with lot of stuff, but to no avail. Stronghold support
hasn't responded to any of my emails either.
Can somebody please help me with this?

John, since you are using Stronghold, would you have any inputs on this?

Thanks,
Pramod
