in reply to mod_perl2 on OS X

mod_perl 1.99
Why not use the very latest, ie mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4?

Did you try looking at httpd.conf? See a missing closing '>'? Looks like '<Perl'?

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    I'm actually using mod_perl-2.0_20050305233800 which I
    checked out by svn two days ago.

    The error: 

    Syntax error on line 2164 of /Users/phil/Desktop/modperl-2.0/t/conf/ht
+tpd.conf

    involves a bug in Apache 2.0.47 where you need to alter
    the line in httpd.conf adding an extra space in a Perl tag.

    Unfortunately, the file can't be edited as it is generated
    during `make test' and any alterations are lost.

    The only workaround I can think of is to ugrade Apache.

      I don't think so. It looks like it's generated during perl Makefile.PL, and if you examine httpd.conf .... or just grep the t/conf directory, you'll see that the <Perl > line comes from t/conf/extra.last.conf.in, which is what you can edit.

      Not a bad idea :)
