First, that was exactly the problem.
May you and all who contributed to its resolution receive skillfully
rendered the prurient favors you prefer most from the individual(s) of
your choosing.

Now, I have a slightly different point of confusion.
The "make test" still fails, but leaves the spawned httpd running on
the test port. The error log says:
================================
[notice] Destruction->DESTROY called for $global_object
[Fri Feb  9 16:29:43 2001] [warn] [notice] child_init for process
23323, report any problems to [no address given]
================================

But if I hit the port with a browser I can pull the test.shtml page
with all the SSI mod_perl calls working fine. I feel a lot better about
doing the install now, but I still want to know what the problem is
here.

FYI, there was an suexec problem before, but I think that's just
because this box doesn't have a user "nobody". I edited the test
httpd.conf to run as our actual server id and it was happy, at least
for that. It's just that I keep coming back to various suexec
problems.... But since the current server runs and suexec's as it
should, I'm not too worried about that.  I just hate leaving *any*
loose ends.

On a seperate note, the main reason I was doing the recompile was to
add in mod_auth_dbm. I finally got a test directory to do a simple
request for authentication by ID/password, but now I can't get it to
accept my password. I built the file with Apache's dbmmanage, importing
a list of id/passwords from a script which used a perl crypt() to
encrypt the passwords as it fed them to dbmmanage via pipe in the
specified "id:encpwd" format. Everything seems to have gone smoothly
enough, but it won't accept the password. What now? :o/

The .htaccess file is:
=======================
AuthDBMUserFile /dart10/web/docs/public/test/test
AuthType Basic
AuthName "password test site"
Require valid-user
=======================

The DBM is in the directory I'm accessing, just as a test.
*sigh*
