Normally, you specify the Apache Prefix (or the location of apxs) when running perl Makefile.PL.

mod-perl_2.0
Greetings, Have been using modperl successfully now for a couple of years solely as an accelerator for cgi scripts using Apache::Registry (know it can do much more!) ala Stas Beckman's approach using heavy and light webservers with Squid on top. Setting up new Linux webservers and wanted to upgrade to the newest versions of Apache 2.0.36 and found your modperl-2.0 Found mod-perl_1.99 at http://perl.apache.org/dist/ Doug MacEachern's installation instructions were excellent and it seemed as though mod-perl built, tested and installed fine, actually installing mod-perl_2.0 Now my question. In the older version,(126) mod-perl created a larger (heavy) webserver. I could then add a startup.pl file to its http.conf file which used Apache::Registry to load perl and my modules. I don't see how this works in the new version of mod-perl, because I don't see a larger version of the httpd server anywhere. When I did the install it just seemed to load into the Perl 5.6.1 libraries. So how does this work now? If it doesn't or it would take too much time to explain it, I certainly can understand and will simply load and continue to use Apache 1.3.24 and mod-perl 1.26 Did notice in the overview The details of these optimizations from the most part are hidden from mod_perl users, the exception being that some will only be turned on with configuration directives. A few of which include: * Inlined Apache::*.xs calls But not sure how to use it.

My guess is that while there will be early adopters, apache 2 will take at least a year to become the standard. A lot has changed, and for most users there's no compelling reason to update. Andrew
