Dear all, I would be pleased to learn if there is any interest for Windows binaries of Apache/Perl/mod_perl/libapreq to be made available to replace the very out of date ones currently available at http://perl.apache.org/dist/win32-bin
If there is then I would be happy to do what I can to provide some. As an example, I've put together two builds of Apache 2.2.22 + Perl 5.14.2 + mod_perl 2.0.6 + libapreq 2.13: one with VC++ 6.0 (as per ActivePerl) and another with VC++ 2010 (the latest version available). They're both 32-bit release-mode builds with default configuration options. Before I consider producing any more varieties (hopefully 64-bit if possible, possibly debug-mode, maybe with different Perl configuration options (e.g. I normally use a perl built without PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS defined) and definitely as and when significant new versions of the packages involved are released (e.g. the upcoming 5.16.0)), please would anyone interested take a look and let me know wwhether this would be a useful thing to have available in the future and what configurations would be desirable. Note that I haven't made .exe installer programs like the sadly departed Randy Kobes had done with the binaries currently at the location cited above. Instead, mine are just simple .zip files, but given that no installation as such is required anyway (you only need to unzip them, edit httpd.conf as required and off you go!), I don't think that's a problem. There is plenty of documentation around about how to set up these things, so I've just included a README.txt pointing to the relevant websites. I've uploaded the files to the following temporary location for your consideration: http://users.perl5.git.perl.org/~steveh/ I've also put a slightly updated version of the apxs_win32 package in the same place, just tweaked very slightly to avoid a warning about assignments to $[ no longer being allowed. Would ppm packages for ActivePerl be useful? So far I've not had a chance to look into them, but will do so if there is interest in this.
