I think a great first-place to start for advocacy is to work with the

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.
If people want to start emailing in what has what, I'll at least
maintain the list until we figure out how best to use it and where to
put it.
I can state FreeBSD as being at perl5.8.7/httpd2.0.54/mod_perl2.0.1
via ports and packages.
Fedora 4 (fully updated) has perl-5.8.6/httpd2.0.54/mod_perl2.0.1 (it
was originally 2.0.0rc5)
RHEL4 has perl5.8.5/httpd2.0.52/mod_perl1.99.16
but a "rpmbuild --rebuild mod_perl-2.0.1-1.fc4.src.rpm" did the trick
