Re: mod_perl 1.99_05 install confusion

[Doug MacEachern <do...@covalent.net>]

modperl-2.0/INSTALL has a "Simple install":
% perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache2
% make && make test
% make install

where MP_AP_PREFIX is the apache installation tree.

the docs should always suggest building against an installed apache (like 
the steps above).  unless, one wishes to build modperl static into httpd.  
which isn't supported at the moment anyhow.

please use docs-dev@perl.apache.org for any future docs 
questions/suggestions, thanks.
