| Subject: | Use "mod_perl2" Instead of "mod_perl" in -core of Makefile.PL |
Dear Shannon Eric Peevey,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I found that your
Apache2-AuthNetLDAP-0.01 is not actually looking for mod_perl 2.x, but
mod_perl 1.x. I tried to look into your Makefile.PL. It lists a
virtual module "mod_perl", which is only available in mod_perl 1.x.
This virtual module has changed its name to "mod_perl2" since mod_perl
2.x. Thus when you list "mod_perl" in the -core, it actually looks for
mod_perl 1.x, but not mod_perl 2.x. You should use list "mod_perl2"
instead of "mod_perl" in the -core of your Makefile.PL.
The attached terminal log below is what I have tested on my system
which has mod_perl 2.x installed. As it shows, it did not found the
already-installed mod_perl 2.x and prompt me to install it, which later
it actually will install mod_perl 1.x.

**************** NOTICE *********************
If you are planning to use mod_perl2 and Apache2, please, do not
answer yes when prompted to install mod_perl. You will need to
download mod_perl2 manually from
http://perl.apache.org/download/index.html

I have made a simple patch in the hope that it helps. Please tell
me if you need any more information, or if I could be of any help.
Thank you.
