The patch applied, I was able to compile the mod_perl, and 'make test' ran and it passed all of the critical tests. I then ran some more of my tests for the functionality it used. These passed. I would say that unless somebody else comes up with a problem that I would use this as a baseline for distribution/installation. That is, I would put up the modified Makefile, with a warning, but would allow people to make/install it by specifying an option such as "make IGNORE_WARNING=yes" Of course, the FreeBSD Ports team may have different views on this... but until the upstream mod_perl team puts out mod_perl-2.0.9 officially I think that this is the best we can do. Also, some more testers will be able to try it out and report any problems....
