I was at Jesse's talk on RT today, which was cool, and I got in a conversation with pudge about mod_perl and OS X. In talking to people it became clear that I was kinda rare in getting it to work right. So here's how I did it, and it was really really simple:
- You'll need to the developer tools, both the old 10.1 tools and the more recent ones worked for me.
- Build perl 5.6.1
- Get the mod_perl sources, unpack, etc... etc...
- Then just configure the source tree the "Flexible Way".
All and all, it is pretty simple. I've been using it for about 6 months now without any problems. Things should get even better once 5.8.0 matures, as it is even more OS X friendly.
