Hi,

I am trying to install mod_perl with limited success. I believe (y/n?) that you can pass Apache configuration directives thru mod_perls Makefile.PL and this is how I am going about it

%perl Makefile.PL \
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.26/src \
DO_HTTPD=1 \
USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 \
prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=rewite


The mod_perl Makefile.PL script spits out the following error

'--ENABLE-MODULE' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
'--PREFIX' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

And after I've rebuilt the Apache source and tried to restart the server, Apache tells me it doesn't recognise the LoadModule directive in my httpd.conf If it is possible to pass Apache ./configure parameters thru mod_perl's makefile how do I go about it and if not how do I install mod_perl and keep all the Apache features I like?

Cheers

Stew
