Hi Ralf,

As you know, I'll take care of building perl-Plack in EPEL 9. One of the
dependency is mod_perl, which won't make it to EPEL 9 and is marked as
abandoned/unsupported for Fedora in the specfile.

I'd like to suggest the following tuning to the rawhide branch specfile.
It disables mod_perl support for both el9+, but I thought it might make sense
to also disable it in F36+. I'd like to get this or a variation of this in
rawhide so one can keep a non-diverging history in the epel9 branch.

I'll submit a proper PR once you gave me your thoughts on this approach.

# Build with mod_perl support for Apache HTTP server version 2.
 # Abandoned/Unsupported in Fedora.

+%bcond_with perl_Plack_enables_httpd2
+%else
 %bcond_without perl_Plack_enables_httpd2
+%endif

# Recommends IPv6 support to HTTP::Server::PSGI embedded web server
