Functionality yes, although apache-perl is probably faster on i386 than
apache+libapache-mod-perl due to the relocation overhead of linking
libperl dynamically on a register-starved architecture.

This is the same reason why the perl binary is linked statically on
i386, dynamically on everything else.
