I think the big problem was with RedHat's pre-7.3 releases.  Somewhere
as an update to 7.2 they finally got the compile options right
for the DSO version and it worked correctly other than the
well-known memory leak on an apache graceful restart.  I haven't
trusted mod_perl under Apache 2.0 enough to try it on RH 8+/fedora.
