A couple of things to watch out for:

Slackware Apache is built with all modules as DSOs.  I've run into
problems with mod_perl in this configuration.  I ended up compiling
Apache with static mod_perl.

Does Slack 8.1 fix the broken suidperl builds of previous versions?
This entry from the archives highlights the problem and a workaround.

The caveat here is that I haven't installed Slack 8.1 yet.  My experiences
relate to Slack 7.1 and 8.0.
