I was unable to get Apple's mod_perl to do anything at all, it just kept
crashing.
Also, I am confused as to exactly what Apache::Request is, and where it
is found, because all these work (and I've never installed a specific
Apache::Request):
[localhost:~] kyle% perl -MApache::Request -e '1'
[localhost:~] kyle% perl -e 'use Apache::Request ()'
[localhost:~] kyle% perldoc Apache::Request
NAME
Apache::Request - Methods for dealing with client request
data
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Request ();
my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r);
DESCRIPTION
Apache::Request is a subclass of the Apache class, which
adds methods for parsing GET requests and POST requests
where Content-type is one of application/x-www-form-
urlencoded or multipart/form-data. See the libapreq(3)
manpage for more details.

I don't know about custom-built dynamic ones, I just rebuilt my mod_perl
static and this worked well.

It was installed as part of the mod_perl package I got at
http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-1.26.tar.gz (It may be different
from the one at CPAN)

Yes it would, Apple mod_perl is impossible to use (unstable), so a Fink
one would really make things easier.
