Is there a different way to CPAN the newer version?
Perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Apache' gets the 1.29 stuff.
I believe
Perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Apache2'
should get you latest version of mod_perl 2.0 (2.0_RC3 as of this writing).
Yes, Apache 2.0.46 on RHEL.
If I decide to go from source, I'm guessing I need to build a fresh
Apache RPM, or at least have the source handy for the mod_perl build.
For the mod_perl side, does the tarball include a way to build an RPM or
is there somewhere else I should check?
You should be able to get source RPM's (AKA SRPM) from the same source
that you get your binary RPM's from. These will include, along with the
source tarball and any necessary patches, a file with .spec extension
(this file will normally end up in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS if you install
the SRPM using rpm), which tells rpm how to build the binary RPM.
For more information, take a look at http://www.rpm.org
