Hi,
There are some other binaries, including ActivePerl ppm packages,
listed at http://perl.apache.org/distributions.html.

The procedure for building on Win32 is different than that for
Unix - see INSTALL.win32 in the mod_perl sources for details.
Starting with the current cvs mod_perl version (1.24_02), there's
support for building everything from the command line on Win32;
see again INSTALL.win32 for details.

All the apache modules use dlls for Win32, not just mod_perl ...

A mod_perl binary distribution would contain the relevant
mod_perl modules for perl, plus the dll which you would copy
into an appropriate $APACHE/modules/ directory, where the
other apache modules are kept.
