Enabling debugging in mod_perl

It seems like I have missed something when I try to enable debugging mode in 
mod_perl.

I started with setting the PERL_TRACE variable to 1 and recompiling (and 
setting PerlSetEnv MOD_PERL_TRACE all in httpd.conf) - nothing happens.

So I recompiled with PERL_DEBUG also set to 1 (no other change). Still no 
extra loggin. Where does the logfile go? What is it called? I thought it 
logged the trace to the current error log (wich seems to be wrong).

Please ... alittle help?

perl -MApache::MyConfig -e 'print $Apache::MyConfig::Setup{PERL_TRACE}'
is set to 1.
perl -MApache::MyConfig -e 'print $Apache::MyConfig::Setup{PERL_DEBUG}'
is set to 1.

although I can't find it documented anywhere right now, I'm pretty 
sure you need to also have a perl compiled with -DDEBUGGING. 
unfortunately, if you don't have a debugging perl already, after you 
create it you'll have to recompile mod_perl as well.
