I use Marc Liyanage's package for MySQL on my PowerBook.

Your errors look like you're mixing versions of perl, as if the one=20
you're compiling mod_perl with is getting confused between the system=20
perl and the fink perl.

I compiled my own perl from source and put it in /opt. My ls -l /opt=20
looks like this:

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root   admin    11  3 Apr  2004 perl -> perl-5.8.3/
drwxr-xr-x   5 root   admin   170  3 Apr  2004 perl-5.8.3

I then put /opt/perl/bin in my path via .bash_profile.  That way when I=20=

use sudo it sees that perl too.

I also installed Apache and mod_perl from source.  I'm using DSO for=20
mod_perl.  My script to build Apache (with ssl):

---

INSTALL_ROOT=3D/usr/local/apache

export SSL_BASE=3D/opt/ssl

BUILD_DIR=3D$HOME/src

cd $BUILD_DIR/apache_1.3.*
APACHE_DIR=3D`pwd`

cd $BUILD_DIR/mm-1.*
export EAPI_MM=3D`pwd`

./configure --disable-shared && make

cd $BUILD_DIR/mod_ssl-2.*
MODSSL_DIR=3D`pwd`

./configure --with-apache=3D$APACHE_DIR

cd $APACHE_DIR

./configure \
  --prefix=3D$INSTALL_ROOT \
  --with-layout=3D"Apache" \
  --disable-module=3Dusertrack \
  --enable-module=3Dso \
  --enable-module=3Dproxy \
  --enable-module=3Drewrite \
  --disable-module=3Duserdir \

  --enable-module=3Dautoindex \
  --enable-module=3Dauth \
  --enable-module=3Dssl \
  --enable-shared=3Dssl \
  --disable-rule=3DSSL_COMPAT

make && sudo make install

My mod_perl so build script:

BUILD_DIR=3D$HOME/src

APXS=3D/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

cd $BUILD_DIR/mod_perl-1.2*
MODPERL_DIR=3D`pwd`

perl Makefile.PL \
     USE_APXS=3D1 \
     WITH_APXS=3D$APXS \
     EVERYTHING=3D1

make && make test && sudo make install
