How about being a bit more "positive" when checking for perl?  The
following patch tests whether the dll being built contains an object
called 'perl.o' (would we have to check $(OBJ_EXT)?  I hope not -
perlld is cygwin and cygwin has '.o'):

I admit that I have not yet rebuilt perl with this perlld -
but mod_perl now takes the perlld step without being renamed.

P.S.: In the meantime I managed to compile mod_auth_kerb as well,
linking against /usr/bin/libhttpd as you recommended.  So my mod_perl
deviation had its merits :-)

P.P.S.: In my "success story" about mod_perl I forgot to mention that
I had to run rebaseall to get the server running.

P.P.P.S.: Ah, yes, and I had to re-install emacs because it got stuck
in an endless loop immediately after starting (consuming 100% CPU)
after the rebaseall.
