You don't have to run mod_perl as a proxy. If you install both apache and
apache-mod_perl, it runs as a proxy, but if you remove apache, you will
get a straight apache+mod_perl server, with no SGI optimizations and
FrontPage, and no SSL.

I did this because there were so much conflicts in the patches that you
wouldn't believe it. Using mod_perl as a module makes the server crash
with Apache-ASP and HTML-Embperl. 

My setup is standard, as it's based on the mod_perl optimization pages on
perl.apache.org.

It works for most people. Maybe in the upgrade process, your config files
got messed up. Remove all your Apache packages, rm -rf /etc/httpd, and
re-install. Make sure you also re-install mm, the shared memory lib that
Apache uses.
