Oh yeah, I cannot believe that they don't change the name. If someone
has a nice workaround to add to perlld to handle this issue with
mod_perl, feel free to contact me.
How about being a bit more "positive" when checking for perl? The
following patch tests whether the dll being built contains an object
called 'perl.o' (would we have to check $(OBJ_EXT)? I hope not -
perlld is cygwin and cygwin has '.o'):

I admit that I have not yet rebuilt perl with this perlld -
but mod_perl now takes the perlld step without being renamed.
This idea is good! I'll try s.th. along these lines.
P.S.: In the meantime I managed to compile mod_auth_kerb as well,
linking against /usr/bin/libhttpd as you recommended. So my mod_perl
deviation had its merits :-)
P.P.S.: In my "success story" about mod_perl I forgot to mention that
I had to run rebaseall to get the server running.
Try to use --enable-auto-image-base for linking, this should minimize
the need for rebasing.
P.P.P.S.: Ah, yes, and I had to re-install emacs because it got stuck
in an endless loop immediately after starting (consuming 100% CPU)
after the rebaseall.
I try to avoid using rebase and I don't use emacs, but I think if it is
a generic problem with emacs it is probably well known, maybe the
archives contain some discussion about this issue.
