Patch for Mac OS X

[David Wheeler]

This patch allows mod_ssl to compile on Mac OS X without first 
installing OpenSSL. This is because OpenSSL is already installed on Mac 
OS X, but mod_ssl doesn't know how to find its libraries.

Please let me know ASAP if this is the correct solution, as I'm writing 
an article for MacDevCenter.com (an ORA site) with instructions on how 
to build Apache/mod_ssl. I would think that it might make sense to 
include a section in which you determine the proper dso extension on 
the basis of OS, but this seems to work, too...

Thanks,

David

Re: Understanding $Config{startperl} in MacPerl

I see that in MacPerl (not perl for OS X), $Config{startperl} is set to

Perl -Sx \{0}\ {\Parameters\}; Exit {Status}\n#!perl

in Config.pm .  I'm not sure what that extra stuff is before the  
shebang, but when I run a script that contains that (using MacPerl  
5.6.1), I just get a perl syntax error.  When I remove it, all is  well.

Can anyone enlighten about what that first line is for?

That line is a MacPerl compatibility with MPW (Macintosh Programmer's  
Workshop), the old Mac development environment.  According the MacPerl  
book, this line allow scripts to be called directly from MPW without  
the need to call the Perl tool directly.  MacPerl knows to ignore this  
line, but Mac OS X perl does not.

I think it is safe to leave it out (and only include the appropriate  
shebang line), as if anyone is still using MPW, they are probably used  
to adding that line to Perl scripts.
