While Apache version 2 is stable, mod_perl version 2 is not yet.  If
you are prepared to accept some of the issues which arise during the
early stages of software development then by all means try mod_perl
version 2.  If not, then stay with the latest version 1, which means
you must also use a version 1 Apache.

There have been several issues with Perl 5.8.0, and although I have
had no problems with 5.8.0 on my own development boxes, in either case
I would wait for Perl 5.8.1 before release into a user environment -
and I would test that for a couple of months first.  As far as I can
tell Perl 5.6.1 is as good a release of Perl as any.
