As Joe quickly pointed out to me, this step is necessary because the apache
distribution strips the httpd executable before installing it (which causes
all sorts of symbol lookup problems in OS X).
The copy step above step can be eliminated if the apache configure command
is changed to include the --without-execstrip option. The new configure
command looks like this:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--without-execstrip \
--with-layout=Apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a
