Hey everyone,
I work at a company where we do all our development under ModPerl and
FreeBSD servers. Its been a few years since I've been able to compile
mod-perl in FreeBSD. Everytime I need a new webserver I need to install
FreeBSD9 and Perl 5.22. This has gradually been causing me more and more
problems with server maintenance. Im hoping somebody can help me work this
out. And ideally this can be resolved for other users, I've googled a bunch
and it seems like Im not the only one going through this.

*Heres what Im doing *
*=================*

tar xzfv perl-5.26.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.26.0
sh Configure -Dusethreads -des -A ccflags=-fPIC -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl
-Duseperlio
make
make test
make install

*This works and I get a working perl5.26 binary, which I then symlink to
/usr/local/bin and /usr/bin*

*===================*
tar xzfv httpd-2.4.27.tar.bz2
tar xzfv mod_perl-2.0.10.tar.gz
cd mod_perl-2.0.10

perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 \
MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.4.27 \
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-mpm=prefork"

*this produces the following error : *
*============================*

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

ERROR from evaluation of
/usr/local/src/mod_perl-2.0.10/Apache-Reload/Makefile.PL:
Use of uninitialized value $v in substitution (s///) at
Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestRun.pm line 1100.

*So I need to edit Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestRun.pm and comment the
offending 2 lines *

*=====================================================*

my %args = @Apache::TestMM::Argv;
while (my($k, $v) = each %args) {
# $v =~ s/\|/\\|/g;
# $body .= "\n\$Apache::TestConfig::Argv{'$k'} = q|$v|;\n";
}

*Run the Makefile.pl again :*

perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 \
MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/src/httpd-2.4.27 \
MP_AP_CONFIGURE="--prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-mpm=prefork"

*This works*

==============

Ive tried a bunch of things Ive found in google but cant get it to
compile. I also tried going the APXS route ( which I don't like, but if
thats the only option then Ill do it ). But that also fails to compile.

===============

The FreeBSD port compiles, but It uses APXS, installs binaries and
libraries all over the place, adds on a million apache modules, and has
other issues.

================

Any help will be very much appreciated, Ive been banging my head against
the wall for a week with this.


Thank you!
