If I can't find the mod_perl rpm I need, it's looking like I might need to
build it from source. I believe this would mean also building Perl and
Apache from source.
Now, I have a redhat-installed Perl already. From past discussions, the
best idea seemed to be to create a 2nd perl installation for
Apache/mod_perl to use, perhaps located in /usr/local.
The thing I'm fuzzy on is how to tell my mod_perl programs to use this
mod_perl. Is it enough to have the LoadModule line point to my
build-from-scratch mod_perl.so?
Also, if I want to use this 2nd perl for scripts, is it as simple as
changing the top line to #!/usr/local/bin/perl. Do I have to worry about
library pathes or environment variables?
I assume I'll need to keep separate lib/perl5 trees as well and I'll need
to install the various cpan modules I use twice.
Any tips would be appreciated.
