Unfortunately, I'm still stuck in mod_perl-1.0 world and have just found
that it doesn't build with perl-5.8.8 on Win32.
The reason is this change in perl-5.8.8:
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?patch=26189
(Perl switched from Winsock1 to Winsock2 a while ago (change 23200), but
carried on accidentally loading the Winsock1 headers in some cases.
Change 26189 does its best to prevent this.)
The reason that change breaks mod_perl-1.29 is that mp1 evidently still
believes that perl is using Winsock1 and includes "-D _WINSOCK2API_" in
its compile flags in order to stop Winsock2 from being loaded!
Well, now that perl is using Winsock2, that's not such a great idea: I
find that the mod_perl.dsp part of the build process now bombs out with
hundreds of errors relating to SOCKET etc being undefined because perl's
sys/socket.h doesn't actually load <winsock2.h> because _WINSOCK2API_ is
already defined.
So, the attached patch fixes all this.
It works in perl-5.8.8, and also seems to work with 5.8.7 (which doesn't
have 26189, but is still really using Winsock2). I haven't found time
to try with 5.8.5 or earlier yet: these perls don't have change 23200
(it was integrated into 5.8.6) so they're using Winsock1, which may or
may cause a problem.
Do you want me to test with 5.8.5 to see if that still works?
