I don't use mod_perl on the Mac so I can't answer most of your
specific questions, but maybe I help with some pointers.

What Perl were you using before?  Did Apache/mod_perl work with that?
Do you have a compelling reason for upgrading to 5.8.1?  If not I'd
stick with what works for now, there are still outstanding issues and
more are (slowly:) appearing with 5.8.1 even on more common platforms.

Might be useful to see more of the log.

If you're going to do that, why go to Apache version 2?  Why not stay
with Apache 1?  I'd always build static from source.  Throwing the
whole thing together in one go on OS 10.2 is just asking to find a few
niggles.  I'd be inclined to work in stages, leaving out DSO, SSL, PHP
etc until I had a bare-bones static mod_perl going.

Have you looked for MAC, Darwin, 10.2 and things like that in the
archives?  There are people using Apache/mod_perl on the Mac and
there have been threads recently on this List.
