I think a great first-place to start for advocacy is to work with the
various linux/bsd/*nix distributions out there to make sure that they
have a modern, compatible version of mod_perl 2. As a user, I don't
want to maintain my own perl/mod_perl build tree - I want my distro to
do the right thing. Perhaps a first-step in the advocacy movement is
to maintain a "distro compatibility list" for mod_perl 2 on
perl.apache.org, so that it's not such a black-art in determining
whether mod_perl/Apache::* packages are up-to-date or whether there are
timebombs waiting to ambush new users.
Sounds like a good idea, and if we point people in the right direction to
get updated versions/backports for their distro that might help with the
rest.
Speaking of which, can anyone point me to a place where I can get a
prebuilt mod_perl later than 1.99_12 for Fedora Core 1?
Version 1.99_14 apparently existed at one time at
http://buscaluz.org/rpms/ -- which is linked to from
http://perl.apache.org/download/binaries.html -- but the link is now dead.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm reluctantly dealing with
a hosted FC1 server, and building mod_perl from source looks like more
trouble than it's worth.
