David, you have great instructions about creating a startup bundle so Apache can start automatically when the computer starts. There is one thing I haven't been able to figure out (perhaps it is trivially silly, but was important to me) --
in System Prefs one can turn web-sharing on or off. That works for the built in Apache. Prior to Jaguar I built my own Apache with mod_perl (what a heartburn that was) but couldn't figure out how to make the System Prefs web-sharing doo-hickey control "my" new Apache instead of Apple's apache.
Perhaps what would be cool would be to be able to completely replace Apple's Apache and perl with our own custom version, and then prevent future OS updates from writing over our custom versions.

Cool, thanks. Nice, well detailed instructions.
Except, you mention in the article...
"You can find the Apache sources on the Apache HTTP server Source Code Distributions page, or at your nearest mirror. As I write this, the latest version is 1.3.26, "
The latest version is actually 2.0.43 but I think mod_perl for Apache 2 is still not production quality. I installed Apache2 on my Linux box and it works fine, but have been hesitant to muck around with it on my iBook.
