I am still new in the Unix/Linux environment -- at least from the standpoint of installing systems software -- so I am sure I am missing something.

Hi Tom,

if you don't need to compile the software yourself,
and you're just starting, I would suggest an easy path:

  # Install the relevant packages
  sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork
  sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-apreq2

  # Enable the apreq and mod perl modules
  a2enmod apreq
  a2enmod perl

  # Restart apache
  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
