Untar it, perl Makefile.PL && make && make test If your apache apxs executable is in your $ENV{PATH}, you shouldn't need to do anything. However, I strongly recommend that you have mod_perl 2.0.5 installed for testing this SizeLimit release. You can do this either in dev or production. > 2) Is there an svn repository that I can use to write a pod/README/INSTALL > patch to explain this to others that might have same problems? I'm not sure what you are asking; if you want to file a bug, you can use rt.cpan.org. Those have been getting resolved as they get filed with each release. Suggest you install mod_perl 2.0.5 in your dev environment and test this version against it. If you are still running mp 2.0.4, you should upgrade. Several years of development in that release.
