http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Should_I_Rebuild_mod_perl_if_I_have_Upgraded_Perl_

There is several step-by-step guides:
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/?InstallationGuides

mod_perl is well documented project.
1) You need working perl 5.8.3 or greater.
2) Then you should instal Apache+mod_perl

a) Apache1+mp1:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#The_Flexible_Way
Is static compilation and it is recomended.

b) Apache2+mp2 is not recomended for production use yet, but in any case 
you can find install docs there too.

3) And only when you finally get positive answer on next question
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#How_can_I_tell_whether_mod_perl_is_running_
you can return to RT install process.
