I guess the XTR is recent and is Sausalito based on some Tech notes
and the /usr/sausalito directory. So you can ignore the "older
platform" comments above.

I still can't seem to tell if mod_perl is supported by the installed
Apache!

These lines, below with '#'s in front in httpd.conf make me think
mod_perl is around some place. But I can't seem to get mod_perl to
build quite right for a new version of Perl because I can't seem to
find the apache sources? I think I really would be off with FastCGI
but I've just started looking at it.

# because mod_perl leaks, this is included by default
#LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so

[

parenthenical comment, this module ain't there:

bash$ ls /usr/lib/apache/libp*
/usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so  /usr/lib/apache/libproxy.so

Given sources maybe I could build my own, but if it is needed by the
system it looks like I'd be shooting myself in the foot.
