I've built and installed a new Apache (2.0.46) with mod_ssl and

Apache::Constants is a mod_perl 1 package, whereas you're using
mod_perl 2 (for Apache 2). If use of Apache::compat isn't enough
to get this working, some porting of the module may be required -
see the discussion of porting Apache Perl modules from mod_perl 1
to 2 at http://perl.apache.org/.
 

Feel free to contact me, as well.  I have contacted the author about 
porting the module, and if I can use you as a test environment, I can 
this ported rather quickly :)  (I don't have a NIS environment for me to 
test on, but I can make the changes, and you can test the install for 
me, and then we can get this mod to work for both versions of modperl...)

Anyone have an installation of apache 1 that is using NIS for 
authentication?  (I will need to be able to test the ported mod for 
compatibility with modperl 1, as well.)

PS  We should probably attack Apache::AuthzNIS at the same time...  It 
isn't much more work :)
