Huh it looks like the SizeLimit bootstrap code did not find the my previous mp2 install:
ph...@harpua ~/dev/svn/modperl $ perldoc -l mod_perl2.pm /Users/phred/dev/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/mod_perl2.pm In a vanilla environment, there will be no mod_perl install, so it should be impossible to build mod_perl2 from source there because Reload and SizeLimit will bail out in 'perl Makefile.PL'. Which leaves us in a pretty pickle to coin the situation. mod_perl itself requires very little dependencies to install which is nice. Apache::Test is one of those dependencies though. Apache::* modules require either mp1 or mp2 installed, so they need to figure out which version of mp is installed (messy process which I released A::Bootstrap to solve), and then build themselves based on that version. Previous problems from users have been when they upgrade mod_perl, which comes with Reload and SizeLimit, the versions of the pure perl modules installed with the mod_perl release may be out of date with regards to the current CPAN versions. If we gave up on trying to bundle Apache::(Reload|SizeLimit) with the mod_perl core, then we would have to go through one more release where users would have to upgrade mod_perl, then upgrade those modules from CPAN as well. After that release, that issue is done with. But I know this is not something to be done lightly. However, having hacked away at getting towards 2.0.5 out the door, and encountering something of this build nastiness, I'm wondering if it is the right thing to do. What do you think, mod_perl developers?
