My approach is to build perl, Apache, mod_perl, etc. in development mirroring the directory heirarchy that will exist on the deployed platform. Once this is done, I can work within its confines through unit test. Consequently I've been able to simply tar/gzip this entire tree from some common root, drop it onto the install target, undo it all at the same root and have it function as expected. I thought I'd be pushing the limits of shared library compatibility and other arch. details as I'm developing on Solaris 7 and the deployment target is Solaris 8 ... however it has not failed me yet. YMMV. Peace.
