easiest way to build apache 1 w/ static perl, rewrite, and proxy

[Kevin Murphy]

Hi,
What's the preferred way to build Apache 1.3.33 with mod_perl 1.29, 
mod_rewrite, and mod_proxy compiled in.  (I happen to be using Mac OS X 
10.2 and perl 5.8.6, btw.)

For some reason, while the mod_perl documentation is enormous, it is 
not clear how to do this.  (There is mention of an Apache 
"Configuration" file being passed to Apache's "./configure" command, 
which puts me in mind of somehow batching the ./configure switches, but 
I don't see anything about this possibility on the Apache side.)

Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

dumb question about mod_perl architecture

[Kevin Murphy]

If a patch is applied to standalone perl on a system, does an apache 
with static mod_perl need to be rebuilt to incorporate the changes to Perl?


I understand that when you use a static mod_perl compiled into Apache, 
then the interface between Perl and Apache is compiled into the 
executable.  But how about the perl interpreter itself?  Is that also 
compiled into the web server as a static library, or is it accessed as a 
shared library?


Thanks,
Kevin
