dpkg-buildpackage for mod_perl

[Mark Laird Copper]

Hi,

I'm trying to link mod_perl statically to Apache.  I'm using
dpkg-buildpackage.  In debian/rules under "binary-arch: build" is the
command,
        cp apaci/libperl.so debian/tmp/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_perl.so
Problem is that there is no such file as apaci/libperl.so.  There is a
"apaci/libperl.module"

But here's my woeful ignorance: aren't shared object files and modules
different animals?  

Any suggestions how to proceed?

Thank you.

Mark
