	There was a message just the other day about this very problem.
The solution is to grab mod_perl source RPM from Rawhide repository, as
well as its prerequisites (apr-*src.rpm). Build and install apr* RPMs,
then modify the mod_perl spec file to disable the exact version
requirement for httpd (by default it requires httpd 2.0.45, the one that
is in rawhide). Then build and install the updated mod_perl RPM, and you
are all set.

	For detailed instructions, see archives -- the subject was
'SOLUTION FOUND: For the truncation of RTFM article contents'.
