Indeed, Apache 1.3.27 + mod_perl 1.27 works wonderfully. I had a sense
this was the case, so I had already gone this route. I've never thought
much of the way RH handles some of their packages. I always end up
having to hand compile apache for one reason or the other on a RH box. 

Thanks for your feedback

BTW RT 3.x looks great! Nice improvements over 2.x...
