Pure perl Apache modules are probably fine with the upgraded mod_perl,
which should be installable by ppm. XS-based modules though, like
Embperl, AxKit, or libapreq, may require upgrades - those modules
that are available at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/
are compiled against the latest mod_perl/Apache versions. Also,
you can in principle run into compatibility problems between
different mod_perl and Apache versions, but since you're running
Apache 1.3.20 you should be fine, as this was the version the
mod_perl-1.26 ppm package was compiled against.
