Yes -- you are bound to use the version of Perl which was compiled into
Apache. If you want to upgrade Perl it is necessary to re-compile
Apache/mod_perl.
On that note, I have created a mostly-automatic build system to compile
Apache with both mod_perl and mod_ssl. You can download the Makefile (and
source tarballs, if you need) from here:
http://www.erlbaum.net/Apache-Perl-SSL/
It's pretty raw, but it works for me. I can build a consistent
Apache/mod_perl/mod_ssl from source, usually with one command:
$ make build
This will also allow you to build as a NON-ROOT user. It was designed to do
so as a primary function.
Let me know if you find this useful!
Warmest regards,
