FWIW it was much simpler and cleaner to install apache2 + mp2 than it ever
was with v1 in my case. Even when things went exactly as expected in v1
there were just more steps involved than now.
The two main things that have been simplified to the point of
disappearance are the build and install of SSL (mod_ssl is built into
apache core by default now) and the many arguments to mod_perl's perl
Makefile command.
Here's my build commands:
$ cd httpd-2.0
$ CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-mpm=prefork --enable-ssl
--enable-info --enable-rewrite --enable-so
$ make && make test && make install
$ cd ../modperl-2.0
$ perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache MP_INST_APACHE2=1
$ make && make test && make install
This builds flawlessly on my system which is FreeBSD 4.7 and perl 5.8

I can't say about other perls, as I said I have 5.8
