If you don't have existing mod_perl sites it wouldn't matter, but
there is a big namespace change that will probably break anything
you might have running now.

Running under fastcgi would be less drastic.

(you could probably use most of the perl module rpms
from the other set instead of the CPAN install).

If you build a custom perl and run mod_perl, you will 
also probably have to build a custom httpd and mod_perl
and bind it to a different port or IP address.
