I was able to get the Apache::AutoIndex module to load and run by
statically building mod_perl into Apache. Thanks.
Somebody should fix the flaky DSO. I did notice that the problems are
timing related. I would could get different results when I did a fast
"apachectl stop", "apachectl start" (the RedHat /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd does
this) as opposed to a slow sequence.

In the process, I noticed the awkwardness of the httpd.conf
"LoadModule","AddModule" directive pair.
Apache's httpd knows which modules are statically linked (evidenced by
httpd -l). Modules should not be loaded ("LoadModule") if they are linked
statically, and conversely, DSO modules can not be added ("AddModule") if
they are not loaded (LoadModule).
Perhaps a better directive would just be "EnableModule", so that a DSO
module would be both loaded and enabled and a statically linked module
would not activated unless it was enabled ("EnableModule"). (I know this
sounds simple, and probably why it can't be implemented. :)
