>Description:

after upgrading to the newer ap-perl pkg, my apache stopped working.
it turns out that if i turn off mod_perl, it works again.  gdb has
this to say about the core (after i remade ap-perl and libperl.so with
-g):

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/apache
# make install
# cd ../www/ap-perl
# make install
# echo LoadModule perl_module lib/httpd/mod_perl.so >> /usr/pkg/etc/httpd.conf
# /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd

>Fix:

dunno.  yet.
