port install apache +mod_perl_expt with darwinports will build a static mod_perl, with the patched httpd to give a working libapreq. in fact, it will also compile Perl 5.8.0 for you as a dependancy. HTH the lazy of you out there Michael

  Here is an email conversation with the above author.
  
  The +<name> syntax is the darwinports syntax for executing a variant of
  a port, so 'port install vim +x11' might install vim with the XFree86
  stuff compiled in. In the case of apache there is a variant called
  mod_perl (mod_perl_expt has gone away, it is no longer experimental as
  the patches to make it work properly are in the main apache source tree
  now).
  
  At the moment mod_perl is only available as a variant of the apache port
  in darwinports and only as a static module. I'll probably get around to
  making a dynamic module (and some others) that will be separate ports.
  
  The layout used in darwinports is essentially the FreeBSD layout, where
  there is a /opt/local/www dir which contains the CGI and document roots.
  the Apache configuration files are in /opt/local/etc/apache and the
  binaries are in /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin.
  
  I haven't tested this port with the perl install as described on
  apple.com, it should work afaik, but I don't know for sure.
  
  ONe thing to bear in mind, I just broke the perl5.8 port trying to make
  it cleaner, it should be fixed soon, but likely not in the next day or
  two. (If you do decide to put a perl in /opt/local.

  Yeah, that's good too. I wouldn't mind seeing articles on the Darwin ports project, or on Fink. What you posted is great for folks who already have Darwin Ports stuff installed, but others might be intersted to know what Darwin Ports is about, and what's involved in installing it and using it. Same goes for Fink, of coruse.
