I am trying to install Slash (the same software that runs
Slashdot.org), which is written in Perl and uses mod_perl for its
integration with Apache.

Unfortunately, it uses a module called "Apache::ExtUtils", and after
some research, I have discovered that this is only available for
mod_perl 1.x, but not 2.x. Which is most unfortunate as we are
running Apache2.

So, the question is basically this: Will I be required to use Apache1
or is there a replacement module for 1.x's Apache::ExtUtils in 2.x?
