Hi,
I don't think this changes your situation any. CGI is not really fast enough to use, so you still need mod_perl or FastCGI. Because the current crop of linux distros came out before mod_perl 2 but couldn't use mod_perl 1 (since they are using apache 2), they have poor mod_perl support in their packaging systems.
Not at gentoo linux [1] - the portage build system gives you the recent version of apache, mod_perl and other software with the simplicity of binary packages with the flexibility of source code.
Acutally i use the following versions without any problems. Before i use gentoo i try often to compile mod_perl from source but it often fails or segfault with mysql and mod_php.
