Looks like you didn't compile your own Perl, mod_perl and Apache.
It's well worth the trouble, it only takes a few minutes when you get
the hang of it. I'd try getting the sources for Perl 5.005_03, Apache
1.3.19 and mod_perl 1.25 and compiling the lot. I'd also try building
static as there can be problems with DSO (*).
You may see other, more informative replies if you're patient... :)

With Apache 1.3 there is support for building modules as Dynamic
Shared Objects (DSO). So there is support for DSO in mod_perl now,
too. I<BUT THIS IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL, SO BE WARNED!>
