Having just downloaded this latest SVN repo, a grep for "2.4" in the

support.
Before I try it, does it actually support 2.4 yet?
The Debian project is shipping mod_perl with httpd24 support
based on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/branches/httpd24/.
This appears to be good enough for our needs, so you might like to give
it a try (our packages are based on a somewhat older version of that
branch, and there seem to be quite a number of changes going in, so
it's worth giving that a go. I haven't heard about any current plans for
merging this to trunk, though.
An update on the state of things regarding httpd-2.4 support in mod_perl:
We are working hard to get this done and are 99% of the way there.
Both volunteers and volunteers' time is limited, though, so progress
has been slow. A lot of work has taken place in the httpd24 branch,
and as Dominic says, some Linux distros are already shipping that.
Further improvements to mod_perl have also been made in the threading
branch, and in a bid to improve the state of httpd-2.4 support on
Windows I recently merged the two together in a new branch called
httpd24threading. This is where current development activity is taking
place, and we are now sufficiently close that I expect this to be
merged back to trunk soon.
I'm on Slackware64 14.1.
