I've been trying to install mod_perl this morning with no luck. It works fine when I just install mod_perl 1.26, apache 1.3.20, and php-4.0.4pl1, but when I add in the mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20 it fails with a 

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-freebsd/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a(D
+ynaLoader.o): In function `SaveError':
DynaLoader.o(.text+0x159): undefined reference to `Perl_vmess'" error.

Any ideas what the problem could be? Someone told me it might be the way I have perl installed, that I have it statically linked. I'm *this* close to reinstalling perl 5.6.1 for dynamic linking/loading, but I'd much prefer to not do that. Hopefully one of the monks can help. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, this is on FreeBSD-4.3-release (soon to be stable) and here's the output of perl -V:
