I know about that file.
However, in my case (~stock Red Hat 8.0 Apache 2.0.40), my error log
(/var/log/httpd/error_log) shows:
[Thu Jun 05 02:54:44 2003] [notice] Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat
Linux) configured -- resuming normal operations
I spent some time scrounging the Apache Web site and can't find any
documentation on how to show what DSOs (Dynamic Shared Objects, aka
Apache modules) are loaded. Google groups shows some other people
having this question.
For Apache 1.0, one can inspect the httpd.conf for LoadModule
directives. For Apache 2.0 in Red Hat, one can do that but, also, for
modules that are packaged as separate RPMs, one must examine
/etc/httpd/conf.d/*. Such techniques do not constitute a documented API
for finding that information, but are better than nothing. See:
http://oceanpark.com/notes/howto_redhat8-apache2-mod_perl.html
You can find out what modules are statically linked with your Apache
image by doing, for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] httpd]# httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c
apachetcl -l will also do that.
But I don't have mod_perl statically linked. It is loaded by my
/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf file.

But no documentation as to why or how that line is generated nor what it
means.

It was in some earlier responses:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# perl -Mmod_perl -le 'print mod_perl->VERSION'
1.9905

One of the best books I've ever read in my tenure doing software
development is the excellent one by Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern,
Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C. First thing I read back in 1999
when I started using mod_perl. I eagerly await an update that covers
Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0.

All well founded advice is appreciated.
