Description Olle Hällnäs 2002-10-27 04:04:54 UTC

seems that mod_perl installs itself in /usr/lib/site_perl where the module
cant's find Apache.pm. A simple symlink to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl to
/usr/lib/site_perl solves this problem but not the best way I suppose.

Some other packages I seen install to /usr/lib/site_perl is MIME-Base64 and
imagemagic.

how about doing this in perl ebuild ?
dosym /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl  /usr/lib/site_perl

Believed caused by old perl ebuild / MakeMaker bugs circa 5.6.1-r8.
