-current, mod_perl and httpd

Perhaps this would be better directed to ports@, but considering the heavy involvement of perl (5.8.0 specifically?) and httpd (1.3.27), I decided this would be the best list. And I'll warn you now that I very well may be being entirely idiotic. I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Anywho, I'm running -current as of about a week ago. I installed mod_perl from the ports tree, enabled it in httpd.conf, and apache was suddenly no longer loading. Or rather, it would load long enough after I issued 'apachectl start' to alter httpd.pid, but would disappear immediately afterwards. It left a core dump in /, which leads me to think that the SIG11 occurs before the chroot, which a ktrace seems to confirm. Disabling the LoadModule line for mod_perl fixed the problem.

script(1) output of kdump and gdb:
http://home.earthlink.net/~caincats/httpd.script

When it comes down to it, I dun really know what I'm doing. I wasn't positive what else would be useful; I'm almost not sure that anyone here would be able to help. If nothing else, I was hoping some one out there had had a similar problem and could maybe provide pointers. I can't find a mention of this on the mod_perl lists; I'm thinking it's actually a problem with perl 5.8.0, but I very well could be wrong.

I'd appreciate anything at all. I don't need this fixed, but I'm in the middle of nowhere and have nothing else to do, so I tend to spend all of my time trying to fix it and thereby becoming semi-suicidal.

Sanks.
