Ryan -
I upgraded to perl 5.6 and when I built mod_perl it used the right one, I
would guess that it would only build it against 5.0 if you didn't run the
`use.perl {port,system}` script that comes with perl 5.6.
The last time I read about loadable modules vs compiled said that the
loadable route costs during startup, but beyond that it's nearly a
push. Using the ports system makes upgrading Apache and all the other
system software much easier than the other route. But, everyone does
things differently, so YMMV!
