Better start with

% cd  /home/directory/src

(or whatever your home directory is) and then

% rm -rf apache_1.3.28
% rm -rf mod_perl-1.28
% tar xzvf apache_1.3.28.tgz
% tar xzvf mod_perl-1.28
% perl Makefile.PL ....

and I would suggest that in future instead of

% make && make install

that you do these steps as separate commands

% make
% make test
% su
Password:
# make install
# exit
%

which will give you the opportunity to abandon ship at any point
before the install.  Finally if you do

% script

before you start the 'perl Makefile.PL' step then everything you see
on the screen will be logged to a file so you can peruse it later if
you feel the need.  It will help you to become familiar with build the
process.  It looks a lot more complicated than it is.  Really.

% man script

for more details.  I'd use 'less -S' to look at the scriptfile.
In fact I always alias 'less -S' to 'li' in my login scripts... :)
