same here. I don't know why stronghold can't get up to date, or give better
instructions on doing the recompilation. But anyway, I was able to compile it;
if anything, there are TOO MANY directions, all giving different advice.
Here is some more:
what i did was install stronghold via their script into /export/home/strongholdtest
then
cd /export/home
zcat mod_perl-1.24.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd mod_perl-1.24
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../strongholdtest/src/ DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=0 EVERYTHING=1
make
Note well USE_APACI=0 ie dont use it. Stronghold seems to be set up to build using
the older system. You may have to go into ../strongholdtest/src/ and make sure
Configuration is the way you want it.
The other complication is that Stronghold comes with an installation of perl in it's
own directories. I didn't want to use theirs. Look in bin. They have a wrapper script
'shperl' which just points to their version. I edited it to point to the right version.
May have something to do with the next problem:

me either. I suggest you do ' httpd -l ' to see that the modules you want are
indeed compiled in. Then , I just skipped 'make test', moved the httpd to the right
directory, and just start using it. If it works that is sufficient test.
You could debug their test script , but it is a waste of time.

They should be flogged with wet category 5 ethernet cable while
$1000 checks are stuck under their fingernails.
