    To paraphrase merlyn: Perl and Apache, considered by themselves, are the least of your problems. It sounds like the system you're trying to install modules onto doesn't make the libraries necessary to compile various things available to you.

      Hum....Isn't it possible to install the needed libraries in a directory of my choice at my virtual host, along with whatever is installed for the module itself?

        Yes, on a normal Unix host. But migawd, you're missing /usr/include and /usr/lib! I can't imagine any Unix installation process that could make sense out of that!
