I kept records last time. But in between we upgraded FreeBSD and it's never
possible to keep ALL possible records. I _did_ have mod_perl. I tested it.
That was 8 months ago. Things morph.

It's very clear, actually, since I did nothing before these steps :)
OK, I thought about this overnight and realized the =pod stuff _should_ work
if Apache has mod_perl built into it. Since I am supposedly building Apache
and mod_perl concurrently, it occurred to me I should "make clean" in my
Apache source and try again. Just in case. And I pulled out my Apache
configure ops from last time (see, I _do_ keep notes) and stuck them where
the docs said to put "APACI_ARGS". Presuming that's what "APACI_ARGS" means.
That isn't so clear...

Well, that is an interesting suggestion. I usually don't but this time the
installation somehow made everything owned by root. That said, back I go for
a chown -R

Not a problem. We happened to be running 1.3.26 already.

I usually do. "The later did many things and eventually" doesn't cover my OS
version; it covers several hundred lines of make output. Surely you can't be
asking me to post _that_?!

Please re-read what I wrote. I _do_ subscribe. I subscribe to the digest. My
mail box does not need an additional hundred messages a day for each list I
subscribe to. The digest comes once a day. So I will rephrase - "Please do me
the courtesy of Cc:ing me directly on any reply so that I get your response
in a timely manner. Thank you."
-----------------------------
This time I tried:
* download apache 1.3.27
* make clean in mod_perl directory
* all files are owneed by me
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache \
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.27/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 \
APACI_ARGS='--server-uid=www \
--server-gid=www \
--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl \
--with-layout=Apache \
--enable-module=most \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=auth_db \
--enable-module=mmap_static \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--enable-shared=perl \
--disable-module=auth_dbm \
--disable-rule=EXPAT \
'
This time I am including all of the Apache configure options I used
previously.
I admit that I may not be understanding which ones to use. The list came with
assistance from others the _last_ time I tried to build mod_perl and Apache.
Disclaimer: I am _not_ a "C person". I do Perl. I rarely get these weird
configure options all correct without help. Sigh.
Then I ran make in the mod_perl directory and this time "make test" says
../apache_1.3.27/src/httpd: not found
According to the mod_perl INSTALL.apaci file, "If your goal is just to build
and install Apache 1.3 with mod_perl out of their source trees and have no
special interests in further adjusting or enhancing Apache... the following...
builds Apache statically with mod_perl, installs Apache under
</path/to/install/of/apache/> and mod_perl into the <site_lib> hierarchy
of your existing Perl installation. All in one step."
But somehow it seems to be missing the "builds Apache" step.
What am _I_ missing?
For Ged, specifics -
This is FreeBSD 4.7, Mod_perl 1.27, Apache 1.3.27
