If you are still trying to use mod_perl, you have to recompile apache
and mod_perl to pick up the new version of perl you installed.  If
you use fastcgi instead you don't need to do that and you wouldn't
need the Apache::* modules.  You also shouldn't have to download
CPAN tarballs by hand unless you are trying to get a special version.
Running perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --install with the options for
your database and method should pick up everything for you.  Or you
can run 'perl -MCPAN -eshell' and 'install packagename' from there.
