Shoulda thought about your answer first, Doug. :-)
I see this type of message ("error at /dev/null") when my mod_perl scripts
give warnings -w style instead of $r->warn. For example, HTML::Embperl, or
Apache::Registry both do this.
The nature of the error message sez to me there is a mishandled error
somewhere, like possibly an eval that is turning into a method call:
eval { # read file here
# file doesn't exist
# error is
No such file or directory
# which is parsed by perl to something like:
# such->No (file or directory)
};
Which further tends to suggest that a necessary environment variable for SSL
is either not defined or pointing to the wrong place??
I would suggest *never* disregarding configtest errors... one poorly
indicative error message can be the final gasp of a long string of errors
caused by a simple typo or whatever several layers deep.
Good luck!

Good try, but /dev/null is not broken on my machine.
I finally gave up and eliminated the DSO version by compiling two
versions of httpd. Both include mod_ssl but the Engine is only turned
on with the light server.
I did find a slight problem when running `configtest' but I doubt that
that could have been the problem.
