(either 10.1.x or > 10.2.x? I would like both!) yes it does, though not without issues... firstly, I only got it to work at all after I upgraded Perl to 5.6.1, and it is easier now to upgrade to 5.8.0 than 5.6.1. Be careful upgrading Perl, I stuck mine in /opt/local rather than apples locations. Once that is done, compiling a static mod_perl works ok, pretty much the way you'd expect, with one problem. Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie will cause a segfault if they are loaded together (they are fine if you just use one or the other). To avoid that, use the experimental libapreq and a patched apache as described on <http://www.apache.org/~joes/> Michael
