Well it does seem like mod_perl is a a RAM users... I commented it out and instead of 120mb RAM it is using 60mb RAM... Any suggestions on what I can do to make mod_perl not use so much ram... I have it running cause I am testing out a CMS system called WebGUI... Maybe I should just get used to that amount of ram being used...

What is unusual here is memory requirements of 120MB per process. This is at least 10 times what you would expect in a standard install. It implies that you are running some modules (mod_perl or similar) that are gobbling up tons of RAM. You should isolate which module is doing that and see if you can fix it.
