I decided to update my apache configuration to include modssl which I left out of the original installation in 2005. Evidently I don't have openssl headers on the server so I guess it is time to reinstall everything. The problem is that this is a substantial site with a lot of use and I don't want to kill my current
embperl, modperl configuration or kill sshd.

The Server is a 2.0.54 and embperl is, I believe, a DSO since it is brought into apache with a LoadModule command in the httpd.conf file

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
LoadModule embperl_module "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/Embperl/Embperl.so"

PerlModule Embperl
#EMBPERL_DEBUG 255
#EMBPERL_VIRTLOG /embperl/log
EMBPERL_LOG /tmp/embperl.log
#SetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 2147475453
EMBPERL_DEBUG 262399
Embperl_UseEnv        on


It's been a few years since I've done any of this. I'd prefer to compile modssl separately and load it
with the httpd.conf file.  It is not currently compiled into httpd

www2:/usr/src/httpd-2.0.54 # /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_include.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_so.c

I downloaded openssl-0.9.8j.tar.gz but before I proceed I thought it would be a good idea to get feedback from the group
on suggestions on how best to go forward.
