I have actually already read
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html#mod_perl_and_Stronghold
and all other documentation about the installation process. The problem is
that the install process described does not work. The jist of the problem is
that when you install stronghold, you use a program to install it. You don't
build it from the source using APACI. The directions in mod perl install say
to do:

perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/local/www/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1
EVERYTHING=1

with USE_APACI=1 well in /usr/local/www there is no configure script so that
when the above run you get:

=
Will configure via APACI
cp apaci/Makefile.libdir /usr/local/www/src/modules/perl/Makefile.libdir
cp apaci/Makefile.tmpl /usr/local/www/src/modules/perl/Makefile.tmpl
cp apaci/README /usr/local/www/src/modules/perl/README
cp apaci/configure /usr/local/www/src/modules/perl/configure
.
.
.
PerlSSI.....................enabled
I see you are building with Stronghold,
I'll set the SSL flags in mod_perl's Makefile
Before running `make test', you must add your `StrongholdLicenseFile' to
t/conf/httpd.conf
Will run tests as User: 'nobody' Group: 'other'
(cd /usr/local/www && CC="gcc" ./configure
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a)
sh: ./configure: not found
Checking CGI.pm VERSION..........ok
Checking for LWP::UserAgent......ok
Checking for HTML::HeadParser....ok
Writing Makefile for Apache
.
.
.

=

then you run make from /usr/local/src/mod_perl-1.21 and get:

=
(cd /usr/local/www && make)
make: Fatal error: No arguments to build
Current working directory /usr/local/www
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `apaci_httpd'
=

I thank you all for your help and advice.

last I did this, once stronghold was installed from their installer,
it left the following tree:

As you can see I extracted the mod_perl sources into this directory.
mod_perl.config is my notes on how to configure it:

perl Makefile.PL PERL_POST_READ_REQUEST=1 PERL_TIE_TABLES=1 PERL_SSI=1
PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=1

once I've gotten into the mod_perl directory.

mod_perl builds just fine then. I only enabled the handlers I needed
because this config dates *waaaay* back in time before EVERYTHING=1
was the way to go. I think EVERYTHING=1 should work ok.

The trick is getting the php that stronghold ships with to configure
as you want. If you want the default, then just let it build. If you
want database access from php, you need to manually build php inside
stronghold and comment out the makefile parts that re-build it.

Other than that, it just builds fine. (This is on BSD/OS 3.1, by the
way.)

And I know I have old versions. They work. They are in production.
I don't need to change it for the sake of changing it ;-)

Thank you for your help. I have only one last question. when I type make it
fails because it is setting
Would you like the bundled regex library? [yN] to YES

However this is breaking it. I have put WANTHSREGEX=no
into $STRONHOLD_HOME/src/Configuration but it is still setting this Yes. It
does not prompt me for this, it is automatically doing this. Anyone have any
advice on getting this to answer NO here?

I thank you all for your help.

=
*IMPORTANT* If you are compiling the Apache module, make sure
you set Apache's regexp setting accordingly in the Configuration
file. ie. WANTHSREGEX=no if you answer No here.

Would you like the bundled regex library? [yN] Y
