I cannot answer that question.
But I can suggest the following: get the Apache (httpd) up  running
*without* dynamically loading mod_perl and see if it works.

Also, try th e-l option on httpd, which lists the compiled-in modules.

Finally, perhaps examine the strings out on the httpd file ... it
may indicate the presence or absence of mod_perl.
