I just tried to install libapreq2 (v2-2.03-dev) from CPAN. It was a 
bit of a saga. I was missing a couple of prerequisites. Then it 
couldn't find Apache2.pm -  I made a link to sort that - then I ran 
make test and there were errors. At that point I halted. There where 
numerous errors in the log:

I can probably get by without libapreq2 and use the $r-the_request(); 
for now. 

Cheers.
