installing mod_perl on Windows 10

Hi.
After (very) long and faithful service, I had to replace my old Windows XP development 
laptop by a new one, which of course came with Windows 10.
And I am having problems installing Apache 2.4 + Strawberry perl + mod_perl.

Apache 2.4 is from ApacheLounge 
(https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS16/binaries/httpd-2.4.41-win64-VS16.zip) and 
installed under C:\apache24
Strawberry perl is (see below)
and both seem to work separately.

Next I try to install mod_perl2 from CPAN and I get the following, see below.
Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong ?

(Note : prior to this, I tried to install mod_perl manually from the downloaded file 
"mod_perl-2.0.10-strawberryperl-5.26.1.1-64bit.zip", but this seems to result in modules 
having wrong line endings and crashing the compiler).

Configuring S/SH/SHAY/mod_perl-2.0.11.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.

Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.

If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.


Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):
