Steve:

I have checked the docs that seem to come with the mod_perl source but can find no instructions for the building of perl itself, only the mod_perl module and apache. Do you have a reference?

Off the top of my head, I think it comes from the Apache guide to tuning mod_perl on their web site, but it was a long time ago. I hope that helps, but let us know how you get on. -- MJR Anglian LUG http://www.alug.org.uk/ No ePatents http://petition.eurolinux.org/ FSF Europe http://www.fsfeurope.org/
