Good, that establishes that your DB is working.

I've never used a non-*NIX Apache. Do you need to restart you machine to get
something(s) out of memory? Compile a new binary (I doubt it)?

My thought would be that this indicates a driver problem. I would suggest
creating a terribly minimized configuration that only includes the requisits
and mod_perl stuff. Then see if that works.
