1. Should I be able to safely run 'make install' now?
Yup.
I noticed when omitting SSL from the Apache build (which resulted in a successful 'make') that a bunch of Apache 'utility' binaries are linked after httpd is built (a half-dozen or so). So, I'm assuming 'make install' will install Apache, but not these utility binaries. I guess that's kind of obvious; just checking.
'make install', always first verifies that 'make' is complete, so if something wasn't built it will first go and build it. But with my patch you should be able to build without needing to manually hop between dirs.
why in the world did you build your perl statically linked?
Are you wondering why I'm not using mod_perl via DSO? (... versus statically linking it into Apache?)
Or are you talking about my vanilla Perl installation on my machine?
Your perl.
I don't believe I did anything unusual when upgrading my Perl. FreeBSD 4.8, the latest production release, comes with Perl 5.005_03, so I upgraded to the latest Perl before installing anything else. I used a vanilla installation (documented in the INSTALL file in the distribution):
fetch http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.8.1.tar.gz tar -xzf perl-5.8.1.tar.gz cd perl-5.8.1 rm -f config.sh Policy.sh sh Configure -de make make test make install
I guess that's the default on freebsd then. I normally build perl with -Duseshrplib.
./Configure -des -Duseshrplib
You didn't do anything wrong, but simply hit a bug in one of the perl modules. I've CC'ed you to the bug report to p5p, it doesn't appear on the list yet (moderation), so I can't post a link at the moment.
