This made mod_perl work in my installation, with the configuration as
outlined.  I'm running this on NetBSD/alpha 1.5.2, with

albatross# pkg_info | egrep -i 'apache|perl|p5-'
perl-5.6.1nb5       Practical Extraction and Report Language
libperl-5.6.1       Perl DynaLoader as a shared object
p5-BSD-Resource-1.10 BSD::Resource - Perl interface to BSD process reso=
urces library
apache-1.3.19nb1    HTTP (Web) server
ap-perl-1.25        Module that embeds a Perl interpreter into Apache
albatross#
