That combination works for me.

Which other configure scripts? You give that parameter to the Apache
configure script.

I have not had any trouble using the perl rpm that came with the
system (RH6.0 in my case). Make sure you also have the gdbm and
gdbm-devel rpms installed, even if you don't use gdbm. There have
