the simplest way is to create a makepl_args.mod_perl file in your mod_perl source directory and let it handle building everything. for example APACHE_SRC=../apache-1.3/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DAP_UNSAFE_ERROR_LOG_UNESCAPED APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=rewrite APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=proxy would build httpd with mod_perl, mod_rewrite, and mod_proxy with a few useful mod_perl things. see the INSTALL document in the apache (not mod_perl) sources for more APACI_ARGS flags.
