Apache::VMonitor doesn't install (can't find

[David Scott <suppressed>]

Hey guys,

I've installed Apache 2.2.3 and mod_perl 2.0.3 + libapreq2, apparently 
all successfully (my application runs pretty well).  Now I want to 
install Apache::VMonitor and can't.

I've running on Debian sarge and have Apache 1.3.33 installed as well in 
/usr/sbin/apache.

The first issue is when I install Apache::Scoreboard 2.0.8.  make works 
OK, but make test fails with:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/Apache-Scoreboard-2.08/Dummy'

Apparently, apxs is locating my Apache 1.3 binary and ignoring Apache 
2.2.  This only causes the test to fail, because I can do make install 
with no issues.

Then I go to compile Apache::VMonitor with

MOD_PERL=2 perl Makefile.PL

It can't find my compiled Apache::Scoreboard.  I've dumped some 
Makefile.PL variables for reference:

mp gen = 2
INC = /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8

         'GTop' => '0.12'
       };

Writing Makefile for Apache::VMonitor

But Apache::Scoreboard 2.08 is in my @INC path.  When I do:

perl -e 'print "INC = @INC\n"; use Apache::Scoreboard; print "version = 
$Apache::Scoreboard::VERSION\n";'

I get:

INC = /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .
version = 2.08

Some internal magic is obviously taking place here and I don't know what 
it is.

If I continue on with the installation of Apache::VMonitor, make doesn't 
complain but make test gives:

Again the Apache 1.3 problem - and lo and behold there's a binary 
compatibility issue.

I'm kind of at wit's end about what to do here - clearly apxs is not 
being my friend, but what can I do about it?

Thanks.
