I have taken a slightly different approach,   using the mod_perl2 SVN 
..../httpd24 branch as the starting point.

This branch,  much to my surprised,  after adding some missing Perl 
Modules,  compiled and almost all of the tests ran and passed.   I am 
currently trying some of my own tests to see if the functionality that I 
need is present.

As Olli says:  Please test/use at your own risk.  Report problems.

Personally,  I am expecting Apache 24 to die a horrible death when I 
start testing this stuff...
