You can't actually do that. Mod_perl will need to be rebuilt to use perl
5.6.0, and I'm not sure that'll work right. (I'm reasonably sure it won't,
though newer versions of mod_perl might with appropriate abuse)
If you want mod_perl, you must use the perl kit that Compaq ships.

You shouldn't need anything special to install Digest::MD5 with perl
5.005_03. MakeMaker's in there already, so it should just be a normal perl
module build and install. (I think I actually did that module at one
point--for a while the perl 5.005_03 that Compaq was shipping for the
mod_perl beta was the one I built)
