Mmm, I like the word "simple" :-)

I am still afraid to compile Perl+Apache+mod_perl since the old days when I needed to do that because there were no other solutions, and when I needed to face some ugly compiling errors...

But if you say that it is simple, I will try it.

...because my current solution is not less uglier. I have installed Apache using apt-get, multiplied it to have 3 instances of Apache, with their own services and settings in /etc and due to the way Apache is installed under Ubuntu it was not very funny.
(Because I needed to test an Apache-proxy and 2 Apache back-ends with mod_perl on the same machine...

Thanks.
