I agree that Apache Toolbox does a nice job for apache/mod_perl
installation -- even goes out and gets the source for you. I would like to
mention that I got a great deal of benefit from the INSTALL document from
the mod_ssl distribution -- it contains many examples of configuring and
compiling common Apache configurations such as
Apache+SSL+mod_perl+PHP...etc... It went a long way towards alleviating my
confusion when I first started working with Apache.
