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

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

        # rebuild modperl 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 modperl 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 modperl source directory and run:

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

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

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

MMEETTHHOODDSS
       new Create an object blessed into the AAppaacchhee22::::BBuuiilldd 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 $!\n";

       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 IINNCC argument to
           "WriteMakefile".

           Example:

            use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

            use Apache2::Build ();

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

       modulemagicnumber
           Return the MMOODDUULLEEMMAAGGIICCNNUUMMBBEERR defined in the apache source.

           Example:

            my $mmn = $build->modulemagicnumber;

       httpdversion
           Return the server version.

           Example:

            my $v = $build->httpdversion;

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

           Example:

            use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

            use Apache2::Build ();

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