libapreq and Apache 2.0

[Steve Sapovits <sa...@gsicommerce.com>]

I'm trying to use mod_perl with Apache 2.0.  Pretty good success so
far, but one package I'm using wants Apache::Cookie which requires
a build of libapreq.  That fails with lots of compilation errors,
which I see others have encountered when I search the net.  One of
those threads mentioned development code being posted to this list.
I'd like to try that if that's the case ...  I can't find any pointers
to that code via the searches I did.

Any other ideas/approaches appreciated.  That would include rolling
back to Apache 1.3 for a while if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance ...

For the immediate future (being the pessimist that I am, probably thru 
the remainder of the year),  you'll need to use 1.3.  Right now we are 
fleshing out the particulars of the underlying C API; no work on the 
modperl interface will likely begin until we have the C interface 
squared away.

We're hoping to get libapreq bundled into apache-2 itself, which 
will lead to the Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie modules being 
included in modperl-2.
