Hi Guys
How many of you use makepl_args.mod_perl ? I have a
file handy with all the required options & I build a
static httpd with a single 'perl Makefile.PL'. I have
found this method very convenient. However, mod_perl
build currently requires that makepl_args.mod_perl is
present in one of
current, '..' or $ENV{HOME}. We source control the
makepl_args file in a global location & everytime I
have to copy this file to current directory for build.
It'd be nice if I can specify the location of this
file (& probably name too). It helps us in
maintenance.
I made a patch to achieve this. Comments ?
thx
