I've resolved this problem, at least to a degree which satisfies me. I built apache-1.3.27 and mod_perl-1.27 together following the INSTALL.simple instructions from the mod_perl source but adding EVERYTHING=1 when running Makefile.PL. This makes Apache::MP3 work on a Red Hat 7.3 system with perl 5.8.0 added and also on Red Hat 8.0 (which has perl 5.8.0 included) but only if mod_perl-1.99 was *not* a selected package. On an 8.0 system with mod_perl-1.99 present, /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest still causes a segmentation fault.
