I've spent the day reading and re-reading all the CONFIGURE, README, and INSTALL.* docs for both Apache 1.3.12 and mod_perl 1.24. Both seem to build and install just fine, but when I add a Location handler to the Apache config file, I get an error. Here's what I'm adding: 
 <Location /perl>
 SetHandler  perl-script
 PerlHandler Apache::Registry
 Options +ExecCGI
 </Location>

When I test the syntax of httpd.conf via "httpd -t", I get this: 
Syntax error on line 904 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlHandler', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a mod
+ule not included in the server configuration

I've obviously fouled up somthing fundamental, but what? The box is RedHat 6.1. I didn't get any errors during the "make" of either Apache or mod_perl.
