There's no reason I know of offhand that mod_perl for Apache 1.x could not be rebuilt using the current Perl version. It's possible that a simple rebuild against a current Perl source kit is all that's necessary. > > >As far as I know (and could be wrong), OpenVMS Engineering has not >> >released the VMS changes for 2.0 nor submitted their changes to the >> >Apache foundation. > >> As far as I know, sources can be obtained from HP, anyway.
