I have not used the APXS configuration method for a long time (due to
the inherent memory leaks it has), so I could imagine that a problem is
still lurking here. Could you try if the normal APACI mathod works? For
example:
perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 \
APACI_ARGS="--enable-module =most --enable-shared=max \
--disable-shared=perl --disable-shared=include"

It is the probably the import file with a dot thing ("#! ."), the
emulation I did in the past handled that differently. The dot thing
means importing from the main program, whereas before without the dot it
meant import later by use of the loadbind() system call explicetely. But
the native dlopen from AIX does not use loadbind(), so the old plug-ins
references back into the main part do not get resolved.
