If you have everything updated to the latest from RH errata (easy way
is to use apt from http://www.freshrpms.net) it will install but
you will have some problems with perl and character set conversions.
I haven't tried this but I think it would be fairly simple
(compared to the rest of an RT install...) to install a separate
copy of perl 5.8.x in /usr/local/bin and arrange to use it with
fastcgi.  That should be less disruptive than replacing the stock
perl and recompiling apache to rebuild mod_perl.  You will also
need mysql 4.x. (Are people using 3.x with RT3?)

Someone recently posted the apt-get technique to install the
components on RH9 which should also work with the Fedora beta/releases.
