Hey all, 

sorry for hijacking this thread, but it's kinda relevant...

Since stabilizing Apache 2.4 (and Perl 5.22) is on the table- we would really 
like to still have a functioning mod_perl in the future. 

Please please please, test www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.10_pre201601 !!!

Any Perl / Apache combination is appreciated. See also:

TIA!
Andreas
