Nope, ports only supports mod_perl as a DSO.I'm a bit irritated by FreeBSD ports at the moment and need somoene to shine some light. I need to build Apache from ports on a BSD box - it has to be from ports - but i don't want to include mod_perl in as a dso. Thus, I'd like to go to ports and 'Make' with a bunch of options which will compile mod_perl straight into my apache1.3-ssl package. Having run make on www/apache1.3-ssl and www/mod_perl, all I get is segfaults. I simply want to run one make to build it in one go.How??? I'm sure that the BSD users amoungst you have all done it 101 times.
You'd have to mess with www/apache13-ssl/Makefile to do otherwise. It might not be too difficult to do that, however. You'd have to build mod_perl from inside apache rather than the other way around though, I suspect (without doing major contortions, anyway).
The alternative is to use something like apache toolbox[1] to install it all in one go. If you want to be sneaky, you can always get a list of files post-install and run it through pkg_create to fake up a package. It's what the ports makefile does for you behind your back, anyway...
