Possible naming error when extracting mod_perl 2 tarball

[Tom Hibbert <to...@moreover.com>]

Hi,

I downloaded the mod-perl 2.0 tarball today from:

http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz

When I untar'd it:

bash-2.03$ tar xf mod_perl-2.0-current.tar

It extracted to the following directory:

drwxr-x---  13 software software     512 Jun 21 23:40 mod_perl-1.99_04

I was just wondering if this was correct (i.e mod_perl 2.0 extracting to
mod_perl 1.99 directory). After looking at the files it looks like it is
mod_perl 2 and therefore just a naming error in the archive - a minor issue,
but I thought I would ask.

Cheers,
Tom

That's correct. It'll become mod_perl-2.0.xx when the first production 
version is released.
