Hi Greg,
First a link to an article Mark-Jason Dominus once wrote about "Why
questions go unanswered".

Read it and read it again, it gives some insight to what to do and how to
write to get help on mailinglists and in newsgroups.
You could also have done a better job at marking out what of the 33kb you
sent was important or relevant. It was an awful long mail to go through.
You also forgot to send us the Makefile.PL parameters you used.
Apache::src seems to not work when you have your mod_perl tree in a
subdirectory to your apache tree. How you got it to compile is mysterious
to me though, you must have been doing something funky. When I try that it
both screams and yells at me that it can't find the apache src.
Try with freshly unpacked tar files, and don't put the mod_perl under the
apache-1.3 directory. What does it say then?

PS. Flaming people who try to help you have never done any good, not even
when you're frustrated and think they could do better at helping you.
Especially flaming the software a lot of people have worked hard on often
in their precious sparetime is an effective way to get ignored.
A lot of the very helpful and clued people on this mailinglist get payed
well for spending their time not helping people on this list, but they
still do it. Don't discourage them. The way to get help is either 1) Do
you homework and stay with the nice attitude or 2) Don't do you homework
but find the checkbook and stay with the nice attidude. Nobody wants to
work for or with someone who is rude.
