You should be able to simply build your own perl with a 
different root directory -
  

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkg/perl-5.8.5

and then build the appropriate mod_perl or fastcgi to go with the perl
installed in that location.

fastcgi will be a lot simpler to configure than mod_perl.

I don't know how well it would work with RT but I have gotten around
problems with perl's UTF-8 support biting me in the ass before by simply
  setenv LANG C

before i start the perl interpreter.
