Hi Tom,

if you don't need to compile the software yourself,
and you're just starting, I would suggest an easy path:

   # Install the relevant packages
   sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork
   sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 libapache2-mod-apreq2

   # Enable the apreq and mod perl modules
   a2enmod apreq
   a2enmod perl

   # Restart apache
   /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
