Linking More Than One Module

So far so good, but in real life you may very well want to link more than one module into your Apache. The idea here is to set up all the modules in the Apache source tree before building it.

Download both source files into the appropriate places on your machine. Go into the mod_perl directory, and prepare the src/modules/perl subdirectory in the Apache source tree with the following:

perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../../apache_x.x.x/src \
NO_HTTPD=1 \
USE_APACI=1 \
PREP_HTTPD=1 \
EVERYTHING=1 \
make
make test
make install

The PREP_HTTPD option forces the preparation of the Apache Perl tree, but no build yet.

Having prepared mod_perl, you can now also prepare other modules. Later on we will demonstrate this by including mod_PHP.

When everything is ready, build the new Apache by going into the.../src directory and typing:

./configure --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a 
   [and similar for other modules]
make
