Since it seems there's no problem with APR in stand-alone mode, it would be good to narrow down why it's interfering with WriteMakefile. A couple of simple possibilities come to mind that would be worth checking:

Somehow APR affects printing in general. Does the following work in generating a non-zero sized file?

use APR;
open(FH, '>test.txt') or die "Cannot open test.txt: $!\n";
print FH "This is some text\n";
close(FH);

APR somehow interferes with the arguments passed to WriteMakefile. Does the following print (to STDOUT) the named MakeMaker parameters?

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use APR;
my $r = WriteMakefile(
    NAME         => 'Handel',
    VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Handel.pm',
    AUTHOR       => 'Christopher H. Laco',
    ABSTRACT     => 'Simple ecommerce framework',
);
for my $key (qw(NAME VERSION_FROM AUTHOR ABSTRACT)) {
   print "$key -> $r->{$key}\n";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
