Tom,
I've had no trouble with Red Hat packages and Apache or mod_perl in
the past.. but last time I did that, RH9 was just out. I can recommend
the following installation plan for Apache. It always worked for me,
on various linux dists.

There is also a XAMPP version for Linux.. XAMPP is pretty much a
prepackaged apache + goodies. Good for a quick start (but I personally
stick to official packages or compiling from source).

Hi Tom
Here's the install script that I walk through to install Apache 2,
mod_perl 2 and libapreq. Done it on a number of machines including
redhat, and it works for me.
You may get errors along the way because of missing libraries. Just
install them and repeat the last step.
It installs apache to /opt/httpd.... and links it to /opt/apache/, so
you can stick your websites under /opt/apache, and when you want to
upgrade, just relink to the new directories in /opt/httpd....
