As Ged mentioned, unless you need Linux ActivePerl for some reason, it's probably better to compile your own Perl, and with as few non-default compile-time options as possible (eg, multi-threading). You mentioned earlier that a vanilla Apache compiles OK (without mod_perl support), so your problem is probably something to do with ActivePerl's compile-time flags, perhaps in combination with the other non-standard modules you're trying to build at the same time. If you do need ActivePerl, you might try building just mod_perl alone to see if that works, and then add mod_ssl and the others incrementally to see when it breaks. Or perhaps try building mod_perl as a DSO outside the Apache source tree - this is described in the INSTALL.apaci file in the mod_perl sources. best regards, randy kobes
