I did another fresh install of the OS, re-installed Perl w/o the
'-Duseshrplib' option, and built SSL/mod_perl/Apache (after applying your
patch).  Worked!

Didn't work (this was with the earlier, shared Perl version).

Same error (again, with the earlier, shared Perl version.

If I'm using the machine solely as a webserver (running mod_perl), does it
matter if I build Perl statically or shared?  If it doesn't matter (or if
it's actually better for Perl to be static in this scenario), then I think
I'm all set (using your patch).  However, if the consensus is that I'd be
better off with Perl built shared, then how do I "link perl's libperl.so to
mod_perl's libperl.a"?

Thanks again for the help.  (I plan to post a detailed build script once
this is all done.)
