mod_perl pre-install questions
I had a brand new server setup yesterday, which has SuExec installed.
I read somewhere, I don't remember where, that mod_perl won't work with SuExec.
Is that true? Or did I just think I read that somewhere?
I see mod_perl in my RPM package installer, with the options of ignore dependancies and force install, what do you recommend?
What do I need to do to install it? Should I use the RPM installer?
Do I need to disable SuExec?
If not, how will the user and group settings in httpd.conf work with mod_perl installed?
Thank you for any advice you may have....
Richard.

It's true. It's all explained here:

I'd recommend to install it manually, YMMV. This has been discussed many
times here, check the archives if you are curious why.
