Hi all,
While ApacheLounge makes available a Win32 binary of Apache2.2 that
seems to work better for modperl than the distribution from apache.com,
be advised that if you intend to use libapreq2, you may not want to use
the mod_perl binary from ApacheLounge.
I don't have the technical details, but if you try to use ApacheLounge's
mod_perl and theoryx5's libapreq, you will not be able to use
Apache2::Reload at the very least.
For some reason, the MSI version of ActivePerl (tested with build 822)
is more stable than the AS version in terms of starting up httpd on
system startup, and service restarts. So please avoid the latter.
My recommendation:
1. Use the Apache2.2.x binary from ApacheLounge
2. Use the MSI version of ActivePerl, NOT the AS version
3. Use the mod_perl library from theoryx5, NOT from ApacheLounge
4. Use the libapreq2 library from theoryx5
Tested on Windows XP SP2 x86
