I'm installing from source, as you can see, but mod_perl isn't my buddy this time. Here's what I did to install it:

1) Built and installed Perl 5.8.0
2) DL Apache-1.3.27 and mod_perl-1.28
3) cd /usr/local/src/apache/mod_perl-1.28
$ perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/local/src/apache/apache_1.3.27/src 
+DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/opt/apache
$ make && make test && make install
[download]

It looks like Apache::DBI is a problem as well. Tried installing from CPAN, got this: Running make test

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
