Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-05-23 16:13:35 UTC
the mod_perl config file has lines like:
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1

those do not work w/apache-2.4.  see this doc for how to adjust things:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

and if you use mod_version, you can support both.  something like:
      <IfModule mod_perl.c>
        Deny from all
      </IfModule>
      <IfModule !mod_perl.c>
        Require all denied
      </IfModule>

another issue in the config file:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 23 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf:
Either all Options must start with + or -, or no Option may.

seems pretty easy to fix:
-    Options -Indexes ExecCGI
+    Options -Indexes +ExecCGI

@vapier, from my point of view, if you are able to test+fix it for the -r1 revision (the one that is used for apache 2.4), please go ahead and commit :)

Thanks a lot

i didn't notice that the latest mod_perl ebuild has need_apache2_4, so it's much simpler to fix -- no need for mod_version
