p5.16-libapreq2 won't reinstall after migration to El Capitan: configuring mod_perl2 +perl5_16 failed

[Murray Eisenberg]

OK, I'm trying to install p5.16-libapreq. Here's what I tried:

(1) deactivated all versions of perl5 except perl5.16 @5.16.3_1 

(2) deactivate of mod_perl2 @2.0.8_2+perl5_20; uninstall mod_perl2 @2.0.8_2+perl5_16+perl5_20

(3) install mod_perl2 @2.0.8_2+perl5_16, which gives configure failure:

:notice:configure --->  Configuring mod_perl2
:debug:configure Using compiler 'Xcode Clang'
:debug:configure Executing org.macports.configure (mod_perl2)
:info:configure Reading Makefile.PL args from @ARGV
:info:configure    MP_APXS = /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs
:info:configure no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.

:info:configure [  error] Invalid MP_APXS specified?
:info:configure Command failed: /opt/local/bin/perl5.16 Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs 

Now what?

If you want to keep using perl5perl +perl5_20, then you need to
install mod_perl2 +perl5_20 and p5.20-libapreq2. I have no clue why
p5.20-libapreq is missing and thin could be fixed.

If you want to switch to 5.16, you need to install perl5 +perl5_16,
then mod_perl2 +perl5_16 and finally p5.16-libapreq2.
