as you say above, it's not the case with DSO.
Yeah, that makes sense now. In the case of static mod_perl builds, is there any reason to run make && make install while getting apache source files ready? It seems like I could just do the configure part then let mod_perl build the server from there.
1) if you build a DSO mod_perl. You must have the Apache installed *before* you start building mod_perl.
2) if you build a static mod_perl, it'll configure and make Apache for you.
So you should never manually touch the Apache tree during the mod_perl build.
Why do you say so? It should work fine under root. If it doesn't, it should be fixed rather than documented. please follow the usual routine
as explained here: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/
This was my experience and I faintly remembered you suggesting that Apache::Test should not be run as root so surmised that that was my problem. Right now, I do not have time to track down this error. If I can repeat it at a later time, I will file a proper bug report.
You should not run it *from under /root directory or similar*, but as long as you run from somewhere where non-root user can access files (e.g. /tmp), running as 'root' should work just fine.
