Error when compiling, please help.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to compile mod_perl 2.0.8 for Apache 2.4.6 x64, but when I
run "perl Makefile.PL" I get this:

ERROR from evaluation of ...\mod_perl-2.0.8\Apache-Reload/Makefile.PL:
Use of uninitialized value $v in substitution (s///) at
Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestRun.pm line 1100.

What can I do so it can build?

Thanks,

Apache HTTPd v2.4.x (was: Re: Error when compiling, please help.)

	Thanks for the update.  I am looking forward to not having to run 
two different versions of Apache HTTPd on the same box (some modules 
needed at some times are only available for v2.4.x).

	Since mod_perl2 seems to provide one of the most comprehensive 
real-world examples of how Apache HTTPd can be enhanced and extended, 
I feel that it's a shame that ModPerl was "left behind" for such a 
long time after Apache HTTPd 2.4.x was released.

	I use mod_perl2 in almost all my web site projects (and also DBI and 
PostgreSQL quite a bit) because it's so excellent in so many 
different ways, and so I'm wondering if there is general concern 
among others here about ModPerl getting a higher priority from the 
Apache HTTPd team in the future.  (Is this an Apache problem, or more 
of a people resource problem, or perhaps there was a technological 
challenge just this one time, or something else?)

	Thanks.

I imagine they're all based on the httpd24 development branch of
mod_perl, where the work to support httpd-2.4 is underway. I believe
it is largely complete on *nix, barring some test failures, but it
isn't currently working on Windows. I hope to get that fixed soon, and
then we can look at getting a 2.0.9 out with it in.

I'm curious; first Fedora and now also Ubuntu 13.10 and Debian include mod_perl and ship Apache 2.4 in their latest distros.

To what extent are their patches non-functional? I.e. if *they* can have it how come mod_perl would not be able to have support for 2.4 upstream? What are they missing that must still be added and to what extent is this problematic?

Oh come on, I heard the same thing when Apache 2.4 came out from 
mod_perl 2.0.7, now the same for 2.0.8

Thanks anyway.

mod_perl does not yet support httpd-2.4.x. It currently only supports
up to 2.2.x, but work is underway to add 2.4.x support, hopefully in
the next release.
