still problems with Apache 1.3.12 apxs

There's been many reports about configure failing when using Apache 1.3.12 and apxs. I'm having the problem myself when using 4.0.2RC1 and 4.0.1 while 4.0b4 works. Here's what happens: checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl or you need to pass the absolute path of apxs by using --with-apxs=/absolute/path/to/apxs There might be some missing parameters perhaps? There are several open bug reports and this need to be fixed. Is there anyone not having this problem with 1.3.12 and apxs? I would have expected more reports if it was a general problem, this should be a very common configuration I think. Stig
