From what I understand, the whole

That's Apache2/ (not Apache).

well, that's not the _whole_ point :)  a mp1 Makefile.PL that needs to

  - interface with the mod_perl or apache C api via XS
  - also compile on win32

looks something like this

http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch03/Cookbook-SimpleRequest-0.01/Makefile.PL

note that even without the win32 foo mp1 still needs the call to
Apache::src->new->inc to find the proper header files.

wo, wo, wo, nobody was even suggesting to do that for mp1. mp2 was the only one.


for mp2, both of those features are taken care of automatically via
ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile. sure, it's a rare case but, as we've seen in just
the last week, I'm not the only one that is writing XS extensions for mp2 :)

But M::B doesn't support XS yet, so that's moot.

so David and I were only talking about ModPerl::MB subclass of M::B which will do the usual thing as any another non-mp2 module does, but will subclass whatever method it is to install mp2 modules under Apache2/ if mp2-core was installed there.

so yes, as of this moment David description is the _whole_ point
