I'd suggest using FC3 or CentOS 4 (the RHEL clone) and using the
perl that comes with the distro and building your own apache 1.3 and
mod_perl from source -- ie NOT compiling perl from source.

I wrote some notes on doing this for MKDoc the other day, the only
differnt thing from what you intend is that I also compiled in
mod_gzip:

A lot of these are already build for perl on Fedora / Red Hat and
also more perl things are built by 3rd parties, for example see the
packages starting perl- here:

  http://dag.wieers.com/packages/

I think all the modules you want are available as RPMS, just install
DAGs apt or yum  and install them :-)
