Locating Apache source code for mod_perl on Mac

I get the following error in Terminal when I try to install mod_perl:

Please tell me where I can find your apache src

[../apache_x.x/src]

I've tried using cpan > install mod_perl(even forcing v. 2) AND I've tried just downloading it, and doing $ perl Makefile but they both lead to the same error.

I'm trying to follow steps from http://bulknews.net/lib/mod_perl_guide/install.html or Oreilly's CGI Programming with Perl but the site says:

The first thing first is to download the Apache source code and unpack it into a directory -- the name of which you will need very soon

Mac comes with Apache, which is why I don't want to download it. But how can I find the apache src???

Update: Haven't checked, but did find apache2开发者_C百科 folder in ~/private/var/log

Additional Info --- separate locations of mod_perl files: I have an unzipped folder: mod_perl-1.31 in my ~/Downloads folder. (for manual install)

I found tar.gz files of mod_perl -1 and -2 in ~/G/GO/GOZER/mod_perl-1.31.tar.gz (or 2.04) (for cpan)

Should I delete these?

Let me know if there is any other info required to solve this, or if I somehow missed a post with this same question. Thanks a lot.

It's quite possible that Mac OS X doesn't ship with the apache source code (I'll be damned if I can find it.) I can find no references to it online or on my machine.

I am going to ignore the built-in Apache installation and install my own. This article discusses PHP and Apache on Mac OS X but I'll also be using mod_perl on my system and will adjust as necessary: http://www.phpied.com/installing-php-and-apache-on-mac-osx-that-was-pretty-easy/

Install it dynamically as a dso.
