Ok. Let me ask a stupid question. Would you recommend 2.0.16 for a production
web server? My other problem (which is DEFINITELY not apache's fault! :)) is
I have to wait for mod_perl 2.0 and PHP 4 to "officially" work with apache
2.0. (yes, I know that PHP 4 has an apache 2.0 module but... :)) So that
kinda ties into the API stability. I've been playing around with apache 2.0
and mod_perl 2.0 for a little while now off and on (IE when I have some spare
time) in a test environment and it's been interesting. So far, I've gotten it
to compile, and got a phpinfo() to work so that's a GOOD thing. :D

I hear you loud and clear, Jeff. Why don't you give the 2_0_16 beta
tarball a shot? It's really in pretty good shape. That's what we have
running on apache.org, with a couple of debug patches added.
Sunday I'm leaving for the British Virgin Islands to bring a sailboat
back to Destin, FL :) . But for the rest of the week and after I get
back (we're figuring 10-14 days) I'll be happy to work with you on
getting 2.0 running. There are plenty of other folks on this list who
will pitch in and help you as well.
