We tend to now use Ubuntu LTS set ups for our webservers - currently a
mix of 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04 depening on which part of the production
cycle we are on (yes we have at least 60 for approx 120 different
websites)...

You're going to be better off with Debian than you will be with CentOS

I've been trying to migrate a site with a lot of Perl legacy code
running under Apache 2.2 and mod_perl. The server I was migrating
to uses CentOS 7, and the default Apache 2.4 and perl 5.16 seem
unusually difficult to configure. I'm not even able to get CGI
scripts to run. In the past I've built Perl, Apache and mod_perl
from source, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work.
Ideally I'd like to use the stock Apache and Perl from the
distribution, and just install CPAN modules, data and config files
and go. I'm curious if people here find a particular Linux
distribution Perl and mod_perl friendly, as the RedHat and CentOS
distributions seem pretty hostile. CentOS 7 has a third-party
module of mod_perl 2.0.8 but if I can't get CGI working correctly
I don't really trust it.
Should I just assume building everything in the LAMP stack from
source is the way to go?
