We use mod_perl over here, and I suspect that's what made the RPM
install easy on FC6.  Looking at the SPEC file I see:

Requires: perl(mod_perl2)

I'd say if you're going to use RT out of the yum repository you should
probably use it with the mod_perl if you want it all to 'just work'.

Though I'm not sure that RT is being maintained in the Extras category,
its been a few weeks since 3.6.4 and no update for FC6.  I just rolled
my own packages..
