Mod_Perl installation: where is apache src

I was installing this and got to... perl Makefile.PL and it says:


Please tell me where I can find your apache src



2. Installing Mod_Perl

Mod_Perl description: "mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast dynamic content. "

Run these commands via SSH:

wget http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz

tar zxvf tar zxvf mod_perl-1.0-current.tar.gz

cd mod_perl-1.29 (or whatever folder is generated)

perl Makefile.PL

If you see any errors about missing dependencies (such as CGI.pm, LWP::UserAgent & HTML::HeadParser required by mod_perl) you may install them with:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install HTML::HeadParser

If you had to install any dependencies you must re-run "perl Makefile.PL". Back to setting up mod_perl, after perl Makefile.PL run:

make
make install

Congratulations, you've just installed mod_perl. Restart Apache with:

You should state what platform you are in, and version of apache.

Did you install Apache from rpm or source ?

It will be better you download Apache source code from www.apache.org and install it. In this way, you know where the apache source is.

It was installed by the datacentre Apache 1.3.33 / mysql 4.0.23
