Boston PM'ers, I remember a thread a little while ago on this list referencing how it was difficult to compile an apache httpd binary with both mod_perl and php as DSO's.
I recently did this on a few RedHat 7.x servers with a somewhat rigorous framework and found it to be rather simple, once you broke it down into it's logical parts. If folks are interested, I can polish up and pass along the Makefile (it also has a perl 5.6.1 install in there too. . .) I think it's perfect for bringing a new RedHat (or other distro, I suppose) up to snuff with perl 5.6.1, mod_perl 1.2.6, apache 1.3.22 and php 4.0.5. BTW, after creating a custom httpd binary, the total size of the running binary dropped by around 35% over the default rpm'd RedHat version. Oof! If other folks have a framework for this I'd be interested in seeing it too. I'm sure this is a wheel that has been invented somewhere. -Dan Collis Puro
