Actually, an easier way is to build mod_perl as a DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) and
load it as a module at run-time.  That way, you don't have to rebuild Apache, and
you shouldn't even need the source code.

You might need to add something like this to httpd.conf:

LoadModule perl_module        /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_perl.so
