Well, it's all fairly perplexing, because I and at least one other guy
have had problems with Debian packages of mod_perl-1.21 and
apache-1.3.9. Looks like the next release of Debian will offer a static
apache-mod-perl binary package because of this very problem.
I'm just saying, mod_perl as a DSO seems a bit more definitively broken
for some of us than "one obscure xs package"; and it's broken across
Linux distributions. Which is not a contradiction to what *you* said.
