Speaking of which, can anyone point me to a place where I can get a
prebuilt mod_perl later than 1.99_12 for Fedora Core 1?
Version 1.99_14 apparently existed at one time at
http://buscaluz.org/rpms/ -- which is linked to from
http://perl.apache.org/download/binaries.html -- but the link is now dead.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. I'm reluctantly dealing with
a hosted FC1 server, and building mod_perl from source looks like more
trouble than it's worth.

Mandrake/Mandriva 2005LE (the last release) has perl 5.8.6, httpd 2.0.54,
mod_perl 1.99_16.
The next release (due on the 15th) has perl 5.8.7, httpd 2.0.54, mod_perl
2.0.1. I'm not sure what the status of any backport is.

Fresh from the oven, built:

Fedora 4 (fully updated) has perl-5.8.6/httpd2.0.54/mod_perl2.0.1 (it
was originally 2.0.0rc5)
RHEL4 has perl5.8.5/httpd2.0.52/mod_perl1.99.16
but a "rpmbuild --rebuild mod_perl-2.0.1-1.fc4.src.rpm" did the trick

If people want to start emailing in what has what, I'll at least maintain the list until we figure out how best to use
it and where to put it.
I can state FreeBSD as being at perl5.8.7/httpd2.0.54/mod_perl2.0.1 via ports and packages.
