title: Locating Apache source code for mod_perl on Mac
body: <p>I get the following error in Terminal when I try to install mod_perl:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Please tell me where I can find your apache src</p>
  <p>[../apache_x.x/src]</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I've tried using cpan &gt; install mod_perl(even forcing v. 2) AND I've tried just downloading it, and doing <code>$ perl Makefile</code> but they both lead to the same error.</p>
  <p>I'm trying to follow steps from <a href="http://bulknews.net/lib/mod_perl_guide/install.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://bulknews.net/lib/mod_perl_guide/install.html</a> or Oreilly's CGI Programming with Perl but the site says:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>The first thing first is to download the Apache source code and unpack it into a directory -- the name of which you will need very soon</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Mac comes with Apache, which is why I don't want to download it. But how can I find the apache src???</p>
  <p>Update: Haven't checked, but did find apache2 folder in ~/private/var/log</p>
  <hr />
  <p>Additional Info --- separate locations of mod_perl files:
  I have an unzipped folder: mod_perl-1.31 in my ~/Downloads folder. (for manual install)</p>
  <p>I found tar.gz files of mod_perl -1 and -2 in ~/G/GO/GOZER/mod_perl-1.31.tar.gz (or 2.04) (for cpan)</p>
  <p>Should I delete these?</p>
  <p>Let me know if there is any other info required to solve this, or if I somehow missed a post with this same question. Thanks a lot.</p>
