OT? apache vs. cpan installs

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

i've got apache-dev installed (/usr/include/apache-1.3/*.h) but
run into mucho trouble trying to install Bundle::Apache via cpan:

	<snip>
	In file included from apache_request.c:58:
	apache_request.h:5: httpd.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:6: http_config.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:7: http_core.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:8: http_log.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:9: http_main.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:10: http_protocol.h: No such file or directory
	apache_request.h:11: util_script.h: No such file or directory
	</snip>

being on debian potato and not actually needing source files,
i didn't know what to tell CPAN when it asked

	************* WARNING *************

	  Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm, 
	  but libgdbm.so was not found.
	  You could just symlink it to /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.1.7.3


	************* WARNING *************
	Enter `q' to stop search
	Please tell me where I can find your apache src
	 [/usr/src/aperl/apache-perl-1.3.9-13.1-1.21.20000309/apache-1.3.9/build-tree/apache_1.3.9/src] 

i certainly don't have such a directory on debian system 1;
somehow on my other debian/potato box i managed to get
Bundle::Apache to install without a hitch, but that was months
ago and i can't remember the incantation... ?

anybody here know the voodoo required?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #5 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
What's a "MANPAGE"? It's the documentation you get when you enter
"man <something>" such as "man sources.list" or "man interfaces"
or "man bash".
