I'm pretty sure 'PREP_HTTPD=1' is needed. I went through the process of trying to figure this out about a month ago, and found the documentation pretty confusing (confusing enough that it gave me the 'opportunity' to look into the Makefile internals, which was a first for me, which probably wasn't such a bad thing...). To me, it seems that all the flags are useful, but (a) the docs could probably be cleaned up, and (b) there should probably be a way to avoid the prompt. But it's all pretty minor stuff... -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
