Apache's "libexec" sub-directory, where other import libraries are located, seems the best place to put it.

So what I was saying is that we probably need to continue
building *mod_perl* as before, however make mod_perl.lib
and anything else needed available under the Apache source
tree (or I think under the perl lib tree for mp1, since
that's where we keep all our mp stuff). Does it make
sense?
Yes, that does ... We could put it under the perl tree (that's where the mp1 header files go now), for example, under $Config{installsitearch}/auto/mod_perl/, and then record that in Apache::MyConfig. Alternatively, as with mod_perl.so, we could let the user specify the location via a Makefile.PL INSTALL_LIB flag (analagous to Win32's INSTALL_DLL), and if this is not given, set it to be under APACHE_SRC/libexec, if this exists (ie, the user has given the Apache installation directory for APACHE_SRC). Preferences?
The command-line that I normally use is:
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=C:/apache INSTALL_DLL=C:/apache/modules EAPI
(Where C:/apache is an *installed* Apache tree, which, after all, contains all the "source" necessary -- headers and libraries.) So, using your suggestion above, I would just need to make that:
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=C:/apache INSTALL_DLL=C:/apache/modules INSTALL_LIB=C:/apache/libexec EAPI
yes?
It would be nice to be able to shortcut that to something like:
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_INST=C:/apache EAPI
The Apache installation specified is used to find the necessary headers and libraries, and as the location to install things into (under "modules" and "libexec").
If that's too radical, then just your APACHE_LIB would be fine.
