Apache::ASP stopped requiring LWP for HTTP::Date with version 2.31 I believe. mod_perl test suite still requires LWP though. Doing 'make test' for mod_perl almost never completely works for me, so I tend to not run it anymore. > shell wouldn't do itself (EXPAT which was required for mod_perl I > think). I think I even had to do an 'install Apache' because mod_perl Once you install mod_perl, Apache::* modules are installed already. I would be surprised if CPAN thought otherwise. Maybe CPAN picked up on something that needed Apache::* modules for something like Apache::SSI ??? I try to make Apache::ASP installable outside of Apache/mod_perl so maybe it was some addon module that triggered this? > What I can recommend though is getting the source for apache & > mod_perl, and building mod_perl with the PREP_HTTPD=1 option which > prevents mod_perl from building apache but builds mod_perl.

In fact I don't > like mod_perl trying to build apache for you). I have compiled mod_perl just fine before using the apxs approach though I am not sure if that is the same as PREP_HTTPD. I believe with apxs it compiled mod_perl as a DSO install, which I try to avoid generally, but worked that one time. You might be talking about something else... since I only ever need mod_perl in my Apache, I have never tried to document the other approaches. Did you ever try to use ApacheToolbox for any of this? I sounds like it works just fine for lots of people. The hard part is installing mod_perl I think. > *not* easy. > About the CPAN install, as of Apache::ASP v2.31, the Bundle::Apache::ASP only requires the basic packages, and one has to install Bundle::Apache::ASP::Extra for the full suite of hard to install programs. Did any of the core packages like MLDBM::Sync or Digest::MD5 present any problems? I'll building a new Linux box in the next couple months, and will try the mod_perl + Apache::ASP install from scratch and see if I can't provide any better notes from this. If you or anyone has some docs to contribute to the current set for Apache::ASP, please send them over. --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
