Hi Nik,

(That was run for me when I did the 'make swig-pl'. I assume that's
normal).

Works fine for me on a 32-bit Pentium 3 running Slackware:
(SWIG 1.3.29, Perl 5.8.8, APR 1.2.7).

I did have to apply a patch to get the Perl bindings to build at all, so
it's possible that may have worked around the problem:

The build problem I had was that it's not possible for me to #include
the APR headers unless I include the flags from 'apr-config --cppflags',
because otherwise apr_off_t is typedef'd to off64_t, and the latter
isn't defined.

Including the relevant flags from apr-config (in my case,
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE) fixes the problem. The attached patch replaces
the default set of MakeMaker CCFLAGS with the set defined by 'apr-config
--cpp-flags --cflags'. I have no idea whether it's correct generally,
but I can't build the bindings otherwise.

Regards,
Malcolm
