thanks for the reply, and pointers - i guess i have completely lost overview 
thru the installation mist om mac osX. most of my questions were indeed more 
apache than mod_perl.

true, but if it *never* gets recompiled there are reasons to worry.

well to me this is a tough situation and i have spend _SEVERAL HOURS_ reading 
it. anyway thanks again - i figure my real problem is, as you mention yourself, 
in understanding apache before mod_perl.
