  Well you're trying to run this in an environment with Plesk, that
  is going to cause you untold amount of headaches. Control panels
  like Plesk, cPanel, etc. aren't built to support more advanced
  setups.

  Here are some suggestions:

  1) If you aren't using Plesk then uninstall it with:

     rpm -e psa
     rpm -e mod_perl

  2) If you are wanting to use it for some sites, but not your mod_perl
     ones you can install Apache into another location from source
     and compile mod_perl against that.

I'm extremely reluctant to get rid of Plesk since I would forfeit any chance of ever getting help from my ISP again if I needed something else.

Here's what I don't understand:

1) Are you saying that I get all these "core dump" messages when I run "perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG=/usr/bin/apr-config", because the mod_perl RPM is already installed? But in that case, why didn't I get all those error messages when I ran "perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs MP_APR_CONFIG=/usr/bin/apr-config" the first time?

2) If I can't *remove* the mod_perl rpm because the Plesk rpm is dependent on it, is it not possible to just *upgrade* the mod_perl rpm, so that it's never "missing" and doesn't break any dependencies?
