Thank you Stas for your input. I read the link above with a lot of interest and tried to compile mod_perl and Apache without EXPAT. The first attempt did not success, and I worked around re-installing some perl modules. After some hours and a last try, HTML::Mason works fine. :-) I feel that like black magic because I cannot explain why it works.

On my system, this lib seems to be installed since a lot of time, so I think it is not the cause of my issue. What do you think of this? Stas, I'd like to ask you another question: Scenario1: I configure mod_perl with NO_HTTPD=1, PREP_HTTPD=1 and APACI_ARGS='--disable-rule=EXPAT', after that, make and make install. In the Apache dir, ./configure ... (other mods to be included), make and finally make install. Result: The server crashes Scenario2: I configure mod_perl with DO_HTTPD=1 and APACI_ARGS='--disable-rule=EXPAT', make and make install. In the Apache dir: make install Result: The server doesn't crash. What do you think about these two scenarios, does it make sense to you? And finally, how to know if Apache has been compiled with/without expate-lite?
