For those Centos 6 users here looking for mod_perl 2.0.5, I rolled a few rpms. Centos 6 is awesome, and so is mod_perl 2.0.5. Double awesomeness.

Standard disclaimer - these rpms have no warranty, are licensed under the same terms as Perl. They may come into your kitchen at night and empty any the bags of flour all over the kitchen, so use with caution. Test on your testing systems before deploying to production. Feedback welcome.

Thank you Fred, I cannot (but I'll try :) explain how useful this is to us.

We started with mod-perl around 1999, I believe. We used/had to do
do every thing by hand. A typical web server machine build
took 2 to 4 days and involved:

in rare cases make and install gcc
install the base linux distribution
make and install a custom kernel
make and install required kernel modules
make and install perl 5
make and install apache, mod-perl, mod-ssl etc.

I am sure I am missing stuff. There were no central repositories.
You had to visit each source site manually. The software stack was
rarely updated, once you got it working you left it alone ;)

Now we build a machine in 2-4 hours;
- linux install
- yum install *many things*
- yum update

Thank you once again.

Dave

No problem, I submitted these rpms to the Centos devel list and it
looks like they'll be getting pushed upstream for Centos 6, and
possibly Centos 5 also.
