I was in a bit of a rush to send my original email.
I first tried doing things per #Static_mod_perl on the install page,
but after flailing around for a while thought I'd try a more methodical
approach as in my email. NB the approach documented on #Static_mod_perl
corresponds to my SECOND ATTEMPT, except for the --prefix=/opt/apache"
in MP_AP_CONFIGURE
I would be grateful if people could try the documented approach but
1) as non-root (which is always good when building software because
it makes it unlikely stuff gets accidentally installed in wrong location)
2) with a fairly clean file-system. I did a rm -rf of the http
and mod_perl directories between each attempt. Also had an
empty install directory, again in case previous attempts left
something around confounding the situation.
I did not go to the extreme of cleaning out and re-installing
between each ATTEMPT
3) trying to install in a specified location, eg with --prefix
Brian Huxtable's posting suggests the documented method worked for him
though he did not indicate that had been done with a clean file-system.
I did try adding the "MP_COMPAT_1X=1 MP_GENERATE_XS=1" he used, but
it still did not work for me.
I also tried mod_perl-2.0.0 without success

SIXTH ATTEMPT
try ./buildconf as mentioned in sectionin #Static_mod_perl
but it really does seem needed only with svn checkout
==========================================================================
tar --bunzip2 -xf httpd-2.0.54.tar.bz2
chown -R www:www httpd-2.0.54

cd httpd-2.0.54
./buildconf

You need autoconf version 2.13 or newer installed
to build Apache from CVS.
./buildconf failed for apr

really a duplication of SECOND ATTEMPT which corresponds to #Static_mod_perl
