No, it appears it doesn't. The docs for apxs are here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/apxs.html It looks like all it really does is compile your code using the appropriate compiler options and include directories and then does LINK/SHAREABLE or equivalent on it. OK, it does a few more things than that, like automatically updating your http.conf. One approach would be to work from first principles and do manually what it is designed to do for you. Another approach would be to find and port apxs to VMS. Turns out apxs is actually a Perl script available in the Apache sources under [.support]apxs.in: $ backup/list=src.tmp httpd-source.bck/save $ search src.tmp apxs [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.man]apxs.8;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.manual.programs]apxs^.html.en;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.manual.programs]apxs^.html^.ko.euc-kr;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.manual.programs]apxs.xml;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.manual.programs]apxs^.xml.ko;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.docs.manual.programs]apxs^.xml.meta;1 [BUILD.httpd.ALPHA-CSWS-V0201-1-ECO-1.support]apxs.in;1 So with some fiddling apxs could probably be made to work on VMS. It's not clear to me offhand what features mod_perl really needs -- possibly not the whole "build shareable" part which Perl's extension building mechanism already knows how to do. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
