hello this might be mac-specific ... can anyone help with this - ive looked around on the net but cant seem to find an answer anywhere i have compiled apache 1_3.20 and perl 5.6.1 problemless. i have also installed the nesecary modules before mod_perl and now want to build mod_perl itself. im aware of the head/HEAD problem that comes with LWP on mac osX and have therefore copied a binary head that ken williams sent me into /usr/bin and moved the lwp head into /usr/local/bin. below follows an exerpt from the shell thanks allan [localhost:/Applications/mod_perl-1.25] aju% sudo perl makefile.pl everything=1 apache_prefix=/usr/local/apache Configure mod_perl with ../apache_1.3.20/src ?
