Building mod_perl 2.0.5

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade some 64-bit Linux servers and though I'd upgrade Perl as
well. I've built the latest Apache (2.0.21), Perl (5.14.2) and mod_perl
(2.0.5), but mod_perl fails three tests:
api/request_rec
filter/out_str_reverse
err_headers_out

When I went ahead and installed this on a test server, some stuff worked but
some custom authentication handlers failed.

The last time I built everything from source I used Perl 5.10.1 and mod_perl
2.0.4, I believe. Is there a recommended version of Perl to use when
building mod_perl?

Thanks,
Dan

That version of Apache is the legacy 2.0.x branch. Any chance you can
upgrade to 2.2.x? Some of the authentication handling changed IIRC.

I'm sorry, I meant to say I'm building Apache 2.2.21, mod_perl 2.0.5., perl
5.14.2 I wanted to upgrade Apache because of some of the recent security
holes found.

In that case, you could run 'make test TEST_VERBOSE=1', and then post the t/log/error_logs content here. Also the httpd configuration options. Last time I worked with 64-bit I had to compile Perl with the -fPIC option. mod_perl though should fail to build without Perl configured like that however.
