UPDATE: mod_perl

[bchesneau@…]

Don't have any success while trying to install apache + mod_perl variant. I had modified the portfile to allow installation with perl 5.8.1 (change 5.8.0 to 5.8.1) and change a little the Portfile to put PREFIX and root args in destroot.destdir to bypass DESTDIR but no way, Apache.pm didn't load when I start apache.

I've also updated my dport of mod_perl to allow compilation of mod_perl with apxs and evrything works (bug #774). Maybe the proble is thar use root=${destroot}, I don't know...

I will reuse this bug report as it's still open: Installing mod_perl fails in current CVS darwinports (I tried to install apache and the mod_perl variant seperately) as the Portfile explicitely mentions perl 5.8.3 and the directories it generates.

I'll attach a modified Portfile for mod_perl which updates it to use the current perl 5.8.4 but this problem should probably also be fixed in the apache Portfile with the mod_perl variant.

Proposed new Portfile for mod_perl port to work with perl 5.8.4

works just fine (meanwhile...!) with perl 5.8.6;
