My problem is still not solved but I get it up to the point where it
probably lies in some customary modules (which does not behave
correctly when unloaded/reloaded) and is not directly related to
apache/mod_perl.
As I got the minimal success (some simple mod_perl application
worked), I report here the way I compiled perl/apache/mod_perl in
that case. Maybe it will help someone in similar situation.
Below I cite the main parts of the script I used (with unnecessary
details omitted):
