I am working with a Linux box which has the latest IBM HTTP Server (v7.0) installed on it which is based off Apache 2.x. When I attempted to load mod_perl-2.0.4 via CPAN I got the following errors: 
/usr/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: l
+ibaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or dir

I did a quick search on the missing libraries and got 
# find . -name httpd
./usr/lib64/httpd
./usr/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/httpd
./usr/lib/httpd
./etc/httpd
./var/log/httpd
# pwd
/
[root@racmqa /]# find . -name 'libaprutil-1.*'
./usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0
./usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0.2.7
./usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.la
./usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so

./usr/IBM/HTTPServer/lib/libaprutil-1.la
./usr/IBM/HTTPServer/lib/libaprutil-1.so

So, I know the libraries are there, just not where mod_perl is looking for them. How do I direct the install towards those directories?
