I am having a problem install mod_perl on red hat 9 with apache 2.0.53 
installed in dir /opt/apache2 (it runs).

I executed >perl Makefile.PL with options
MP_USE_DSO=1 and MP_AP_PREFIX=/opt/apache2

Tom, it comes from:
/*
 * Perl does not provide this abstraction.
 * APR does, but requires a pool.  efforts to expose this area of apr
 * failed.  so we roll our own.  *sigh*
 */
int modperl_sys_dlclose(void *handle)
{
#if defined(MP_SYS_DL_DLOPEN)
   [...]
#elif defined(MP_SYS_DL_DYLD)
   [...]
#elif defined(MP_SYS_DL_HPUX)

#else
#error "modperl_sys_dlclose not defined on this platform"
    return 0;
#endif
This define comes from:
lib/ModPerl/Code.pm:    (my $dlsrc = uc $Config{dlsrc}) =~ s/\.xs$//i;
lib/ModPerl/Code.pm:    print $h_fh "\n#define MP_SYS_$dlsrc 1\n";
On my machine it's:
% perl -V:dlsrc
dlsrc='dl_dlopen.xs';
As you didn't follow my request to submit a proper bug report as explained 
at http://perl.apache.org/bugs/, I can't tell you more until you do so :)
