I believe that mod_perl 2 now installs the mod_perl.lib

That's a good suggestion - you're right that mod_perl 2
installs the mod_perl.lib under the Apache2/ tree, and it
would make sense for mod_perl 1 to do the same, with
Apache::MyConfig adjusted to reflect that. I'll look into
putting together something to do that.


Does it? According to Apache::Build, it should be installed under the 
apache tree's lib: 
Yes, in my Apache2 setup (the one that I can't get working with Perl 
5.8.1...) I have mod_perl.lib in C:\Apache2\lib.  I didn't change any of 
the installation locations.

I'd assumed that's what Randy meant, actually - Apache2/lib being under 
the Apache2/ tree :-)

Having said that, the BuildConfig.pm doesn't actually seem to refer to 
the location that the library has been installed into -- like mp1, it 
refers to the location in which it was built! I have:

   'MODPERL_LIB_LOCATION' => 
'C:/Temp/modperl-2.0/src/modules/perl/mod_perl.lib',

in BuildConfig.pm.  Wouldn't it be better for that to be 
'C:/Apache2/lib/mod_perl.lib'?
