Has anyone here come up with an RPM for apache+mod_perl, with the

I use Apache ToolBox to get all these items and have been very pleased
with. It allows you the option of creating a RPM as well, so if that
part works for you (mine didn't) you would have something you could take
from machine to machine. The process allows for you to modify the
install path so it will play nice with other versions of Apache on the
same machine.
You can configure evey part and it even prompts you to edit the
configuration files during the process.
I have tested this on:
Custom Linux, the OS was assembiled from various GNU parts
Installed Apache/mod_perl/php/mod_ssl
Mandrake 8.2 Linux
Installed Apache/mod_perl/php/mod_ssl/mod_layout
Red Hat 7.?
Installed Apache/mod_perl/php/mod_ssl/mod_layout
I have only tested the recently RPM support one time under Mandrake so I
am not sure how well it might work on other platforms.
Even if the RPM portion doesn't work the Toolbox takes away most of the
grunt work.

1. mod_perl is statically compiled
2. I don't want SSL. This will be backend server. Only the frontend
needs SSL.
3. can co-exist with a non-mod_perl Apache on the same system, meaning
that it has its own config dir, pid file, logs, etc.
4. Including mod_rpaf would be a nice bonus, but adding this probably
wouldn't be too hard.
In other words, is there anything like the excellent apache-perl Debian
package, but for Red Hat. ARGH, I really hate Red Hat. But in this case
I'm stuck with it.
I've been working on this myself for a few hours but I realized I should
ask about it here first.
