Feedback from Randy; fyi modperl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is a good place to discuss this.

Hi Bill,
    I sent this message to the users@httpd list, but I'm
not subscribed, so apparently it didn't get through.
Could I ask you to forward it to the list? Thanks!

I've been making futile efforts to compile a module, mod_httpbl.c, and

have had some involvement.

Thanks on that are to Randy Kobes :)

However, when I try to follow the
recommended instructions for compiling this module, it fails with
various errors.  Along the way I discovered that apxs.bat used a
long-filename reference to perl.exe, but it wasn't properly quoted and
it was failing to find perl.exe, so I had to actually edit apxs.bat and
change the reference to 8.3 format.

I think I know where the problems might be with the
use of the long-filename reference to perl.exe, but
to confirm, could you send me the changes you needed
to make it work in that respect? Thanks.
