I'm trying to compile it on Vista against MSVC 2005, but
it seems that I'm unable to do it.

I tried compiling via the Makefile src/os/win32/makefile.win,
or even src/Apache.mak but the first error I see is:

regerror.c(62) : warning C4996: 'errcode' was declared deprecated
C:\dev\msvc2005\VC\INCLUDE\crtdefs.h(506) : see declaration of 'errcode'
Message: 'This name was supported during some Whidbey pre-releases. Instead, use the standard name errno_t.'
regerror.c(62) : error C2081: 'preg' : name in formal parameter list illegal
regerror.c(62) : error C2081: 'errbuf' : name in formal parameter list illegal
regerror.c(62) : error C2081: 'errbuf_size' : name in formal parameter list illegal
regerror.c(63) : warning C4028: formal parameter 2 different from declaration
regerror.c(63) : warning C4028: formal parameter 3 different from declaration
regerror.c(63) : warning C4028: formal parameter 4 different from declaration

....

Then I tried importing the Apache.dsp but VC complains it's a "corrupted
project file".

Tried to look into the READMEs/etc... and found nothing in particular.
Maybe Apache 1.3.41 requires a newer MSVC version?

Any hint?

This is Apache that you're trying to compile, not mod_perl, so you're
asking on the wrong list really.

I previously had trouble running Apache 1.3.x on Vista, and found that
the best solution was simply to upgrade to Apache 2.x. Apache 1.3.x is
really too old to support Vista, although I think it did get it running
after a fashion eventually.

Likewise, I've only ever built Apache 1.3.x using VC6. I don't think
there is any support in it for VC8 or later, so it is actually an older
MSVC version that you need rather than a newer one!
