First I tried it in combination with www/apache13-modperl and then I tried it in combination with apache13-modssl. I had no problems related to modperl. I think I must have installed the following ports in this order: databases/mysql40-server www/apache13-modssl www/rt32 I never tried to install www/mod_perl independently and I never looked to see how the www/rt32 port might have caused modperl (or apache or mysql) to be installed if I had not previously installed them. Since FreeBSD 5.4 was released, the www/rt32 port (which installed rt-3.2.2) seems to have been replaced by the port www/rt-3.2.3 and there is now a new www/rt-3.4.4 port. I would guess that the new ports install in pretty much the same was as www/rt32. Dan Strick P.S.: On several occasions I tried to install RT-3.4 on RH Fedora Core 4 with Apache 2.0 and on Core 2 with Apache 1.3 (because the RT-3.4 installation docs said Apache 2.0 with modperl2 was flaky). It was a nightmare (a.k.a. "train wreck" / "unmitigated disaster"). The standard CPAN installation procedure seems to be frequently broken because the modules won't pass their own self tests, allegedly due to some sort of version mismatch between the modules and their testing procedures, and you have to manually force installation (or so I was told by a friend who has a friend who is familiar with CPAN). Once we got past the CPAN installation and tried to actually run RT, it wiped out looking for perl modules in wrong places. We tried to patch a few but gave up. The matter seemed hopeless.
