testing Apache:: modules with 5.8.0

[Stas Bekman <st...@stason.org>]

please test that 5.8.0 has no problems with Apache:: modules on your 
platforms/configs. 5.8.0-RC1 is to be released in 2 days.

I've reinstalled a bunch of Apache:: modules that I usually have with 
5.8.0-tobe and all were installed fine but these two:

Apache::SubProcess
Apache::Module

these two fail to build at least under:

   -Dusethreads -Doptimize='-g' -Duseshrplib -Dusedevel

if you don't know how to build perl 5.8.0, do:

rsync -acvz --delete --force \
rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-current/ ./perl-current
cd perl-current
make distclean
./Configure -des -Dprefix=/home/stas/perl/ithread \
-Dusethreads -Doptimize='-g' -Duseshrplib -Dusedevel
make && make test
make install

adjust the Configure flags if needed.

I've used CPAN's 'autobundle' feature to make a snapshot of the 
currently installed modules and then run:

cpan> install Bundle::Snapshot_2002_05_30_00

running under 5.8.0.

Apache::Module needs a patch, which can be found here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl-dev&m=98295430720401&w=2

I built Apache::Module fine yesterday with 5.8.0, so all should be ok.

according to the rest of the thread it's already been applied, so 
Apache::Module just needs a new release I suppose...
