I've been otherwise occupied for a while and am finally able to spend a few
moments, once again, on trying to get mod_perl compiled into Apache.
I am using:
Apache 1.3.14
Perl 5.6.0
mod_perl-1.24_01
on Linux 2.2.16
I have a string of arguments that I would like to pass to the compile routine
at, I believe, the
%perl Makefile.PL
stage. These are contained in a file supplied by our esteemed colleague, G.W.
Haywood, in a file
called makepl_args.mod_perl.
Would the syntax for inclusion be
%perl Makefile.PL < makepl_args.mod_perl
I'm not certain how to pass the arguments contained in this file to the
execution process without typing them out line by line.
Also, if anyone know of the existence of an Apache server configuration that is
vanilla but will support proxy and mod_perl, and is in binary form for Redhat
Linux 7.0, I am ready to give up on trying to become a guru on this. I am all
out of time and just need to get this going ASAP.
And if G. W. Haywood has his ears on, would you be willing to answer this
question. If I change the value for the Apache_prefix to something like
/usr/local/apache2 would I be able to set up a whole separate test server, and
then run this on something like port "5080"? I need to keep my current server
running while I try to implement mod_perl and the Perl::DBI interface (with the
original goal still in mind to allow access and editing of a mySQL database).
TIA,
Andrew Lietzow
