Re: Re: Module AuthAny.pm

Back when I ran redhat/mandrake I usually discarded the default 
installation of mod_perl and apache (removed the rpms completely) and 
built from source. I never liked the way those binary distros were 
configured.

Building apache + mod_perl statically from source is not very complicated, 
at least not with Apache 1 + mod_perl 1. In theory, just download and 
unpack both the tarballs and then read INSTALL.apaci in the mod_perl 
directory (it contains a step-by-step instruction for building and 
installing). After having run a conventional install into /usr/local, 
running the mod_survey installation script should not cause any trouble.

Given that you have trouble with apache2, perhaps trying a source build of 
apache1 might be worth it.
