mod_perl build issue

shemp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

HI all, i'm trying to build mod_perl as a DSO. I'm using the guide at apache.org, etc. I'm trying to build version 1.99_09. Apache is already built on this box.
Anyway, when i perl Makefile.pl, this is the command i run, and the beginning of the output:

perl Makefile.PL USE_APXS=1 \
WITH_APXS=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
PERL_CHILD_INIT=1 \
PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS=1
Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
Configure mod_perl with /usr/local/apache2? y
Configuring Apache/2.0.46 mod_perl/1.99_09 Perl/v5.8.0
'PERL_CHILD_INIT' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'USE_APXS' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'WITH_APXS' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
generating script t/TEST
Writing Makefile for Apache::Test
generating script t/TEST

I'm quite perplexed by the warnings that my various parameters are not known MakeMaker parameter names.
I got those options directly from the manual, so anyone have any idea whats up?

thanks

What manual did you get them from? mod_perl 2 (which is what 1.99 is) is a totally different beast from mod_perl 1 and has different build params.	[reply]
