There isn't a magic incantation, and there is a lot of stuff that has
to be done manually.
Stas' mod_perl Guide is your friend:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html#Installation_Scenarios_for_mod_p
You won't find something describing your exaction situation here, but
this should give you a leg up. mod_php should have an option that allows
it to be created as a (guess what) module to be added to the web server
(rather than an integrated build procedure, like what mod_perl does with
DO_HTTPD = 1). I expect that you could then treat that module similarly
with how you take care of the modules as described with the URL above.
However, you might find that throwing all 3 of those modules into Apache
will create for you a bloated beast of a server. If conserving memory is
at all important to you, then you should take a look at the recent thread
that went on on this list, "[RFC] Do Not Run Everything on One mod_perl
Server":
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/floivonmel
The concepts discussed here could help you manage your memory more effectively
(though you'll have to come up with the implementation yourself).
Cheers,
Richard
