FAQ of the week
o I'm trying to make mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14, but see the error:
"Apache Version 1.3.0 required, aborting..."
Using mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14 requires an upgrade to 1.24-01
(or some hacking around). Get the latest version from the mod_perl
distribution page [21]

o The Apache/Perl Integration Project [22]
o mod_perl documentation [23]
o mod_perl modules on CPAN [24]
