Okay, "we use" ...?  who is we?  I've tried MySQL 5.1 -> 5.0 and finally 
gave up and went down to 4.0 before I could get the data to load ... it 
seemed to be just a change in the schema, but hadn't had a chance yet to 
dive into it ...

As to Apache 2 ... I haven't played with it with Slash yet, but ti 
shouldn't be a whole lot of changes to make it work, should it?  Or is it 
just mod_perl that is the hang up?

As for 'newer' perl ... I'm running on 5.8.9, and the only issue I hate 
was taht the newer Schedule::Cron 0.99 doesn't seem to have a public 
build_init_queue function, only an internal _build_init_queue ... I had to 
revert down to 0.97 to get around it, and everything else *seems* to work 
okay with 5.8.9 ... so, from what I could tell, only that needs a tweak to 
run with newer Perl, but maybe taht is already fixed in the public repo 
too?

What public repo?  I looked for that too ... the site mentions 
http://cvs.slashcode.com, but that just brought me back to the main page 
...

What can *we*, as a community, do to get things moving again?  Get a new 
release put out?
