the simplest way is to create a makepl_args.mod_perl file in your mod_perl
source directory and let it handle building everything.  for example

  APACHE_SRC=../apache-1.3/src
  DO_HTTPD=1
  USE_APACI=1
  EVERYTHING=1
  PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DAP_UNSAFE_ERROR_LOG_UNESCAPED
  APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=rewrite
  APACI_ARGS=--enable-module=proxy

would build httpd with mod_perl, mod_rewrite, and mod_proxy with a few
useful mod_perl things.  see the INSTALL document in the apache (not
mod_perl) sources for more APACI_ARGS flags.
