Many of rt-users use mod_perl or FastCGI.

First of all, you have to install it.

1.x version: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/?ManualApache describe procedure too.

2.x is beta, but last releases is stable enough. Please don't try to use 
old packages.
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html
Don't ignore 1.x docs cause it has good instructions that is still 
applicable to 2.x, for example
