Hi,

the patches looks good to me. I try to compile them NT with VC 5 and will
also see if it still works on Unix.

If nobody raises an objection I commit the changes to the mod_perl cvs in
the next days.

When this is in the mod_perl cvs, I think it's time to announce it to the
mod_perl list, so people can test it with ActiveState _and_ on Unix, so we
get more feedback.

> Hi,
> Attached is a suggested patch to the latest cvs mod_perl sources
> related to some things on building with ActivePerl. Specifically,
> - the patch to Makefile.PL inserts an AUTHOR and ABSTRACT
> for Makefile.PL, as ActiveState's ppm likes;
> - the patch to ApacheModulePerl.dsp pulls in a .def file
> ApacheModulePerl.def, which is also attached and is
> assumed to be put in the same directory as
> ApacheModulePerl.dsp (src/modules/ApacheModulePerl).
> This def file adds some symbols that are
> needed by AxKit and libapreq on Win32, and both then
> link successfully with the ApacheModulePerl.lib
> built with this patched mod_perl.
