Recompiling modperl ?

[Petter Larsson <pe...@resfeber.se>]

Hi,

Is it possible to recompile mod_perl to add features (for example
PERL_AUTHEN=1) without having to recompile apache itself ?

Lets say that one has compiled apache 1.3.x with mod_perl and mod_ssl
and later
finds out that features are missing from mod_perl.

I know that this is probably a "newbie" question but I would be really
thankful for
answers.

regards
Petter

If mod_perl is statically linked, then no, you must recompile Apache.
If mod_perl is dynamically linked, then yes, you can recompile just
mod_perl.

Only if you load mod_perl via DSO.
