I'm currently using mod_perl 1.2.7 with Perl 5.8.0. If I want to test Perl 5.8.1 RC4, how do I recompile Perl and mod_perl without having to make other changes? Is there a simple way to do this upgrade?

You have to rebuild perl, and then mod_perl, the same way you build them in first place, it's "relatively" simply. If mod_perl 1.0 is already installed, just running 'perl Makefile.PL' should pick the previously used configuration directives, by internally using Apache::MyConfig.
If you use an RPM based system, you may find available RPMs: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mod_perl&submit=Search+... http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=perl&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=
Though I'd suggest to download src.rpm of each and rebuild them locally. Notice that these packages may have a long pre-requisite list.
