I've belatedly got round to testing modperl/trunk with perl-5.14.1 (and httpd-2.2.17) on Windows XP (using VS2010).

It builds fine except for a minor wobble from Makefile.PL saying

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1725.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at lib/Apache2/Build.pm line 1725.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for /src/modules/perl/.lib

for each of Apache2::Reload and Apache2::SizeLimit. I've not seen that happen before but it didn't stop it from building normally otherwise.

It also tests fine except for apache/subprocess tests 2-5, which I *have* seen many times before: that's been failing for quite a while now, so shouldn't hold up release of 2.0.6. (I really should look into why it's failing one day...)

So it's a +1 from me, FWIW.

Seems like it happened with 2.0.5 as well, actually, when doing a fresh build of everything. It doesn't happen with 2.0.4, though, so it must be addition of Apache-Reload and Apache-SizeLimit into the mod_perl distribution as of 2.0.5 that caused it.

I think I didn't see this when testing 2.0.5 before because if I install into a perl tree which already has a previous mod_perl (+ Apache::Reload + Apache::SizeLimit?) in it then the problem doesn't occur, so I probably just tested 2.0.5 against a perl tree which already had 2.0.4 in it.
