mod_perl install on SGI

[Tom Keller <ke...@ohsu.edu>]

Greetings,
I am trying to install mod_perl with apache_1.2.26 on and SGI running 
6.5.16.

apache was installed from the freeware.sgi.com website using their very 
nice installer. Unfortunately, the clean up after installation seems to 
remove the Makefile that is used by mod_perl's Makefile.

So running install mod_perl from cpan, I get the question "Please tell 
me wher I can find your apache src
[ ../apache_x.x/src]
I can't seem to give it a path that works.

I know the executable is at /usr/freeware/apache, but that gives the 
message "can't open /Makefile No such file."

I've also tried using /var/inst/fw_apache which is the downloaded source 
file. No dice.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Keller

CPAN asks for your apache '/src' dir, not the location of the binary or 
the source base dir. e.g. if you've untarred the apache source in 
/tmp/apache_1.3.26, you should pass /tmp/apache_1.3.26/src when prompted 
by mod_perl installer. See 
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html for more info.
