I was gonna mention php - I don't remember exactly how they do, but it IS labelled php4.so (I think libphp4.so)
It definitely won't be libperl4.so. We had this fun with mp1 already. So it'll be mod_perl2.so and you'd say:
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl2.so
Does that sound right?
I think so, but when you install over a prior version that had
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
what should the install process do? Conceivably it could
1) comment this line out, and leave the modules/mod_perl.so file
intact, or
2) s/mod_perl/mod_perl2/ on this line, and remove the old
modules/mod_perl.so file, or
3) leave conf/httpd.conf alone (assuming that's what it does now), and add a documentation note explaining that users with prior mp2 installs will need to adjust their LoadModule directive.
I've been thinking about renaming apreq2's to mod_apreq2.so, so apreq2 will also need to DTRT here. FWIW, I'm leaning towards
(2) in apreq2's case, but for mp2 I think (1) or (3) might be a better choice.
As Issaac wisely pointed out, we have absolutely no technical reason to s/mod_perl.so/mod_perl2.so/, because we install it along with other Apache2 modules in $apache_root/modules which have no '2' extension. mod_apreq.so seems to be in exactly the same boat.
To remind, mod_php has the numerical signifier, because it's possible to load any and several of them for the same server, and that signifier doesn't correspond to Apache generation but libphp library.
So as we probably not going to do the rename, the issues that you have mentioned are moot, Joe ;)
