Thank you very much for your reply below. I was getting desperate of getting any at all.
I will check the permissions issue and post back to the list.

Maybe in the mneantime an additional question to the list : has *anyone at all* succeeded
in installing (and using) Apache 2.4 / perl 5.20+ / mod_perl 2.x on a Windows 10 platform ?
Knowing that someone else has been able to do that, would already help me in focusing my
debugging efforts to something specific to my laptop.

Additional info :

I checked the permissions of all below c:/strawberry/perl, and one thing I can say is that
all directories and files below that point have at least permissions read/write/execute
for all "authenticated users".

On the other hand, I also ran the following (why did I not think of that before ?), just
to make sure that the issue would be reproducible with only the "vanilla" installed Apache
2.4, perl 5.26.3, mod_perl 2.x :

C:\strawberry\perl\site>set PERL_DL_DEBUG=1

Compilation failed in require at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/Apache2/Const.pm line 19.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/Apache2/Const.pm line 19.

(Note : to make extra sure, I also ran this in a CMD window "run as administrator"; the
results are the same.)


Any other clue, anyone ?
