You may want to try out Apache eXtenSions (APXS), which is a nice way of working with dynamic shared objects. I discovered this about a week ago and I really love it. It makes working with Apache modules really easy. I've set up a small web page giving some recipes for adding APXS modules (including php and mod_perl) to Apache: http://logidac.com/apache/apxs/ Comments and suggestions are welcomed. You'll notice that mod_ssl is not in the list, because of the bug I described in my message from Saturday.
