Randy, Any chance we'll see a mp-1.28 binary against activestate perl 804 (5.8.0)?

Hi Issac, The problem with activestate 8xx is that they enabled USE_LARGE_FILES support, which causes a conflict in mp1 with Apache Win32 binaries. And it didn't seem easy to fix mod_perl to avoid this conflict. One could get around this by, eg, recompiling the activeperl 8xx sources without USE_LARGE_FILES support, but then I don't think one is guaranteed compatibility with ActivePerl binaries. But perhaps someone might have experience mixing binary packages compiled with and without large_files support on Unix?
that will work only if the application doesn't use any API which happens to rely on variables whose type depends on whether USE_LARGE_FILES is on or off. For example size_t will be different with and without USE_LARGE_FILES. So you may experience in the best case segfaults in the worst case subtle bugs, like we had in the seek() implementation of APR::PerlIO when perl and apr libs weren't both compiled with large files enabled.
