Perhaps the solution is a complete, precompiled package, something that
has Perl, Apache, mod_perl, and all the required modules prebuilt, in
various formats: RPM, deb, tgz, Solaris pkg, and just regular tarballs.
ActiveState has a generic, relocatable tarball of ActivePerl that can
be moved around. It's very nice -- simple to install, answer a few
questions, and the whole things gets put where you want it.
With a handful of maintainers and a lot of diskspace, a number of
configurations can be created.
This is something I'd be willing to devote some time to. If anyone finds
a home for something like this, consider me a volunteer.
