As much as your question sounds like "I get errors using Perl, what am I doing wrong?", here goes:

• Check your @INC, and your LIBS path. You can use libs or modify your environment, or move files around or soft-link them, but they have to be at the ready. If required, make a test script which tells you these, or spit them into an error log using CGI::Carp. You can also put stuff in your httpd.conf too.
• Check your permissions, such that your Apache user (i.e. 'nobody') can read the modules
• Make sure that mod_perl was built with the same version of Perl as you are currently using. No sense trying to fuss around with things when mod_perl is built with Perl 5.6.1 and you're installing into the 5.6.0 directory.
• When in doubt, sync up everything by building from scratch. Make sure you do it in the order: Perl, mod_perl, Apache.
• When all else fails, post some interesting error messages.
