Hmm, that doesn't look right. ... > Do I need other stuff from the mod-perl dist for the RSS-SHARED patch? Can you try the release candidate? A couple of users were clamoring for it but then they went quiet, so maybe it is working so well they forgot to write back. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/dev/102778 http://people.apache.org/~phred/Apache-SizeLimit-0.96-rc1.tar.gz > 2.
