Here's what I would do:
Remove the rpm version of apache:
# rpm -e <packagename>
If you want to use the start up files that are part of that
package just copy them some where since they'll be removed.
Build the source version following the directions in the mod_perl
document called INSTALL.apaci under the heading "The flexible way".
Unless you have a specific reason for it, I wouldn't bother with
building it as a DSO. It's usually not a problem on Linux but it
adds a level of complexity.
I used mod_perl 1.24_01 with Apache 1.3.14 last time and had no
problems with the build.
