perl Makefile.PL blows up with Apache 1.3.14
The httpd.h file for apache_1.3.14 looks like this now
#define SERVER_BASEVENDOR "Apache Group"
#define SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "Apache"
#define SERVER_BASEREVISION "1.3.14"
#define SERVER_BASEVERSION SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "/" SERVER_BASEREVISION
so the subroutine httpd_version in the Makefile.PL blows-up because the is
looking for the BASEVERSION to be expanded.

As mentioned in my previous email the '_' char in the version number makes
the release special and sort of hidden. (that's why it's not in
modules/by-module/Apache as well). You can still find the module thru
search.cpan.org and in the author's directory. (and on perl.apache.org)
Now why it was called is way, I don't know.
Here is an original announcement:

...
support version parsing of 1.3.13-dev's httpd.h
...

So CPAN.pm can't find it and it's not in the modules/by-module/Apache
directory. It's a wonder anyone finds it at all! (apart from cpan.org
or perl.apache.org ;-) May I suggest another version number is chosen
which allows better distribution?...

Hi, Leon
It is on CPAN, your mirror is terribly outdated. Time to change the mirror
:)
http://cpan.valueclick.com/authors/id/DOUGM/
mod_perl-1.24_01.tar.gz
obtained thru http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=mod_perl
Note, that CPAN.pm shell won't see it, since it skips files with '_' in
the version number. So according to it, it's still 1.24 that's the latest.

That's because it's not in the CPAN Apache directory. Maybe it should?

It was repeated at least 10 times on the list since 1.3.14 was released --
use the latest release: mod_perl-1.24_01
