Ah, okay, found out a solution (but not the cause).
Turns out that apache 1.3.29 ships with mod_perl 1.29 as an extension
already.
When I configured apache with this:
./configure \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
and then did a make && make install, the mod_perl installation was hunky
dory, so *don't* download mod_perl and try to install it by hand, go
with what's shipped with apache.
Installing AxKit on top of that was a pain, because I also had to update
the libxml2, libxslt and Sablotron libraries to get everything to
compile correctly.
However, once all of that was in place, AxKit works just as the website
says it should.
Hope this helps someone else.
