For the pending 1.0 release, I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
We don't understand the problem with libapreq on OS X well enough
to try and support it, yet.
In the interim I'll try and maintain the "experimental" versions.
Stas has been kind enough to work on adding a test suite to libapreq,
which will very likely be included in the next release. Perhaps by
then we'll have this OS X loader problem nailed as well.
OTOH, I'd like to solicit some feedback on yet another installation
process- first making libapreq a shared library, and then linking
the Perl interfaces to *that* library (instead of libapreq.a).
Here are the steps:
1) build mod_perl + apache as normal (do NOT use the experimental
versions I've been providing, and be sure your modperl config
options include support for Apache::Table).
2) Grab the soon-to-be-released version of libapreq-1.0 from Jim's
webpage:
http://www.apache.org/~jimw/libapreq-1.0.tar.gz
3) Install libapreq.so.1.0.0 (to /usr/local/lib) using:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
4) Now install Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie using
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make install
You might need to use "ldconfig" to tell ld.so where libapreq's
shared library is.
5) report successes/failures using this approach on OS X to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks again.
