That works. Thanks!
However, there is code in Apache2::Build that should handle finding the apxs utility (below), and it appears that code is not called before the prompt is presented.
# try to find the apxs utility, set $apxs to the path if found,
# otherwise to ''
my $apxs; # undef so we know we haven't tried to set it yet
sub find_apxs_util {
my $self = shift;
$apxs = ''; # not found
my @trys = ($Apache2::Build::APXS,
$self->{MP_APXS},
$ENV{MP_APXS});
push @trys, catfile $self->{MP_AP_PREFIX}, 'bin', 'apxs'
if exists $self->{MP_AP_PREFIX};
if (WIN32) {
my $ext = '.bat';
for (@trys) {
$_ .= $ext if ($_ and $_ !~ /$ext$/);
}
}
unless (IS_MOD_PERL_BUILD) {
#if we are building mod_perl via apxs, apxs should already be known
#these extra tries are for things built outside of mod_perl
#e.g. libapreq
# XXX: this may pick a wrong apxs version!
push @trys,
Apache::TestConfig::which('apxs'),
'/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs';
}
my $apxs_try;
for (@trys) {
next unless ($apxs_try = $_);
chomp $apxs_try;
if (-x $apxs_try) {
$apxs = $apxs_try;
last;
}
}
}
