I can’t use that, as I do not have Apache installed at that point. I am trying
to automate an existing manual process.
The idea is to package an Apache with mod_perl, for distribution internally at

I came up with needing to use both as it didn’t look like that MP_AP_DESTDIR
was working, but I’ll give that a try again and see.
