I have attached the complete build log for Apache2::Request which shows
the failure (near the end) to compile Request.c due to an incorrect INC
path for an include file that does exist, but not where the Request.xs
file thinks it is (using a #include "file.h" statement).

This is on FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE with the following ports in place:

ap22-mod_perl2-2.0.4_2,3
apache-2.2.17_1

Re: failure to build Apache2::Request

FreeBSD has a port for www/p5-libapreq2

THANK YOU!!!!! :-)

I had looked for Apache2 and Request (case sensitive) in /usr/ports and
finding none was forced to consider CPAN modules. I would have never
thought to have looked for (lowercase) libapreq2 - in fact the number
of www/p5- ports in FreeBSD with all lowercase names is less than ten
(10!) and this is an up-to-date (8.2-PRERELEASE) system - go figure... :-)
