In the configure line for Apache, like so:
./configure --disable-rule=EXPAT \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a

David> That seems to imply the option is in mod_perl?
That's assuming you have the mod_perl distribution build Apache for
you, not if you're doing it the other way around.

The above should help.

XML::Parser doesn't hide it's symbols properly and hence they collide
with the expat-lite that's in Apache by default. I can't believe this
hasn't been fixed by now.
Nonetheless, this subject has been covered over and over on the list.
If you look in the archives you'll most certainly find more details.
