Fwd: ActiveState...
Would it be possible to create a binary version of mod_perl for Win32 that
works with Activestate Perl?

the cvs version of mod_perl works with activestate, if you want a binary
ask modperl@apache.org or randy kobes directly, i think he's put one
together. >>

None that I'm aware of. But then the compiled part of AxKit is only the
custom config directives.

I'd forgotten that they actually maintain the ppm's. I'm sure you're
right.

I've tested mod_perl some more with the .def file I sent
earlier that includes the symbols needed by AxKit and libapreq.
So far the one problem I've had is with the mod_perl PerlRun
test and not finding a file - I'll look into this some more
on the weekend. The other tests all pass. Are there any problems
with AxKit? Embperl compiles OK, but there's some issues
(separate from mod_perl) with some of the tests unique to the
ActiveState compile flags. I've also looked at some of the
(simpler) Apache::* non-standard modules. Also, a script that
could be used in the mod_perl ppm to grab and install
ApacheModulePerl.dll seems to work fine.
As well as the "competition" with PerlEx, ActiveState may not
want to maintain a mod_perl ppm, as that would involve
keeping up with versions of both mod_perl and Apache itself.
best regards,
randy

We're working on sorting out the linking issues so that building external
compiled modules such as AxKit and Embperl is trivial. Once thats done and
we've done more testing you'll be notified of a URL to get a ppm
from. Maybe we can even persuade activestate to host a ppm in their server
(although mod_perl competes with PerlEx, so I don't know how likely that
is).
