NAME
       Apache2::Build - Methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code

SYNOPSIS
	use Apache2::Build ();
	my $build = Apache2::Build->new;

	# rebuild mod_perl with build opts from the previous build
	% cd modperl-2.0
	% perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code.

       Since mod_perl remembers what build options were used to build it, you can use this knowledge to rebuild it using the same options. Simply
       chdir to the mod_perl source directory and run:

	 % cd modperl-2.0
	 % perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

       If you want to rebuild not yet installed, but already built mod_perl, run from its root directory:

	 % perl -Ilib -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

METHODS
       new Create an object blessed into the Apache2::Build class.

	    my $build = Apache2::Build->new;

       dir Top level directory where source files are located.

	    my $dir = $build->dir;
	    -d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!
";

       find
	   Searches for apache source directories, return a list of those found.

	   Example:

	    for my $dir ($build->find) {
	       my $yn = prompt "Configure with $dir ?", "y";
	       ...
	    }

       inc Print include paths for MakeMaker's INC argument to "WriteMakefile".

	   Example:

	    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

	    use Apache2::Build ();

	    WriteMakefile(
		'NAME'	  => 'Apache2::Module',
		'VERSION' => '0.01',
		'INC'	  => Apache2::Build->new->inc,
	    );

       module_magic_number
	   Return the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER defined in the apache source.

	   Example:

	    my $mmn = $build->module_magic_number;

       httpd_version
	   Return the server version.

	   Example:

	    my $v = $build->httpd_version;

       otherldflags
	   Return other ld flags for MakeMaker's dynamic_lib argument to "WriteMakefile". This might be needed on systems like AIX that need
	   special flags to the linker to be able to reference mod_perl or httpd symbols.

	   Example:

	    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

	    use Apache2::Build ();

	    WriteMakefile(
		'NAME'	      => 'Apache2::Module',
		'VERSION'     => '0.01',
		'INC'	      => Apache2::Build->new->inc,
		'dynamic_lib' => {
		    'OTHERLDFLAGS' => Apache2::Build->new->otherldflags,
		},
	    );
