this is a bug.  newer mod_perl's override %Config::Config using
Apache::ExtUtils, which when you build inside the mod_perl-1.xx tree is
found ok, but inside the apache tree the build is picking up your older
Apache::ExtUtils.  you can bandaid by setting the PERL5LIB environment
variable inside the apache_1.3.19 tree to: `pwd`/../mod_perl-1.25/lib

errors installing Apache 1.3.19/mod_perl 1.25 on RedHat 6.1

[Jonathan Swartz]

I am trying to install mod_perl with APACI, exactly as written in
mod_perl/INSTALL.apaci under "The flexible way". I get the warnings and
fatal errors below.

My system:
  Apache 1.3.19
  mod_perl 1.25
  Perl 5.005_03
  RedHat 6.1 (Linux 2.2.12-20)

% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.19/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1

etc.

Any ideas? I will research, but it seems odd to fail out of the box on such
a common system.

Thanks,
Jon
