I agree with Andrew - getting Apache, Mod_SSL, PHP4 and mod_perl
with PHP4/MySQL and mod_perl/mySQL all co-operating is a relative
doddle with Debian packaging. Especially in view of the volume of
the 'I cant build...' comments on the mod_perl mailing lists.
We usually wget the .debs we want installed as a set, into a dir
e.g. /usr/local/deb/<build date> and then do a
dpkg -i *.deb
apt-get check
FYI, these are SOME of the installed packages on our Dev server
yes - it's a bit messy, but it's potato flavoured, with woody
extras, and we don't seem to have any issues.

Ok. I'll give it a another go.
Interestingly, I have not seen a lot of "I can't build this" messages
on modperl, but have seen a fair number of "why isn't this working
messages on debian-user.
