Building mod_perl for Tenon's iTools on Mac OS 10.2

Peter Bengtson Wed, 24 Sep 2003 05:18:42 -0700

I've recently upgraded the pre-installed Perl 5.6 on a server running Mac OS 10.2 to Perl 5.8.0, and as part of the upgrade I need to recompile mod_perl (mod_perl-1.28). I'm not running Apple's Apache, but Tenon's integrated solution, iTools, based on apache_1.3.27. The make procedure runs without any problems -- make test completes at 100% -- and the install is straightforward.

However, the resulting module crashes Apache during startup, and Tenon seem to be quite nonplussed and are unwilling to help, so I am on my own. I am new to compiling mod_perl, but experienced in other server maintenance areas, so any pointers from you folks who have done this before would be much appreciated.

I have found a couple of articles on the install process, but they are very old and seem to be out of date.
