Question: when will mod_perl be available for Apache 24? Is anybody
using it (see below), and what problems (if any) were there? The method
outlined below may or may not work - I haven't tried it. Any comments
or suggestions?
Background:
I wanted to update to Apache 24/FreeBSD 9.2. Everything went fine until
I hit mod_perl. The
current Port Makefile as of Fri 01 Aug 2014 is marked as:
.if ${APACHE_VERSION} > 22
BROKEN= Does not build with apache24
.endif
Apparently mod_perl is currently not compatible with Apache24. The
perl-modperl mailing list has a posting:

This has the following information:

The Debian project is shipping mod_perl with httpd24 support
based on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/branches/httpd24/.
An update on the state of things regarding httpd-2.4 support in mod_perl:
We are working hard to get this done and are 99% of the way there.
Both volunteers and volunteers' time is limited, though, so progress
has been slow. A lot of work has taken place in the httpd24 branch,
and as Dominic says, some Linux distros are already shipping that.
There is also a posting on how to abuse the mod_perl2 port, download the
source from the SVN repository and force mod_perl2 to compile it:
