Building mod_perl takes place in several steps.
Simplified, the steps are:
1. Get the sources and unpack them. (% tar xzvf ....)
2. Create your "Makefile". (% perl Makefile.pl)
3. Compile. (% make)
4. Test. (% make test)
5. Install. (# make install)
6. Configur. (# emacs,vi,edlin...)
You have completed the first two, and sent the results from the
second. There is nothing seriously wrong with the output but you have
not properly installed the modules required to preform one of the
steps. Fortunately this step ('make test') is optional. You can
install mod_perl without doing it. So all you have to do now is steps
four and five. As you see, you usually do the install as user 'root'
but the others can be done as any user.
Unfortunately you have an old version of Perl (5.004) so you should
heed the advice of the build scripts and upgrade. I would suggest
version 5.005_03. You must compile Perl, Apache and mod_perl with
the same compiler.

While you are rebuilding Perl, I'd suggest starting again with version
1.3.19 of Apache.

Don't worry about it for now. Try using the CPAN shell next time.
perl -MCPAN -eshell
