OMG!

Yeah. It was a full night in intense agony... RH apparently had no 
intention of making that easy. Essentially, I had to hand-compile 
Apache 1 and mod_perl 1 from clean sources. Then, AxKit itself is 
straightforward.

The problem is really that RHEL3 ships with Apache2 only. We're not 
there yet. Consequently, what you need is really Apache 1.3.33. If you 
can find RPMs for that, you're a lot closer allready. I couldn't find 
those, but if someone has it, AxKit isn't too bad.

Most recent are good. For XML::LibXML, that's 1.58_1, IIRC.

You may want to configure the cpan tools. Set it up with "follow"  on 
dependencies. Then, from memory again, go:
install PHISH/XML-LibXML-1.58_1.tar.gz
install AxKit
install XML::LibXSLT

...sit back and enjoy! :-) You need the libs too, of course, including 
the -devel packages.
