Re: Error on install of mod_perl2: Cannot load mod_perl.so into server: Symbol not found: _modperl_handler_name

Hi Andy:  I just got a dynamic mod_perl to build (and work properly) under 
Linux:

perl 5.16.1
mod_perl 2.0.8
apache 2.2.22

So I don't think that perl 5.16.X broke all mod_perl builds.
