INSTALL.win32 in the mod_perl sources describes how to build
and install mod_perl - this is geared towards using VC++.
As for configuring, if you have Apache set up already, the
configuration and use is very similar to Unix - see http://take23.org/
and http://perl.apache.org/, especially the guide, for lots
more info on that. There's a sample Win32 httpd.conf at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/httpd.conf-perl
that contains a number of common directives used for mod_perl
related things.

No, not really - the build process differs from Unix, but after that,
and taking into account the differences in general with Perl/Apache
on Win32, it's relatively straightforward to use.
