I went through the process of trying to figure this out about a month ago, and found the documentation pretty confusing (confusing enough that it gave me the 'opportunity' to look into the Makefile internals, which was a first for me, which probably wasn't such a bad thing...). My conclusions, after futzing a bit, were: 1. to "prep" (and not build) Apache, you need to set PREP_HTTPD=1 2. you don't need to set any of the other flags 3. you can't avoid the prompt (contrary to the docs) -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
