Is there any particular reason you're installing from source?

If not, I'd recommend the following (for mod_perl): 

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

[download]

If you don't already have apache, you should do this first: 

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker apach
+e2-utils libapr1 libaprutil1

[download]

You might want to use apache2-mpm-prefork (non-threaded, slower) instead of apache2-mpm-worker (threaded, faster) if you need compatibility with non-thread-safe libraries.

Just ignore all the stuff about "PHP" ;-)
