In my opinion, the short practical answer is no.

It is technically possible, but you are going to spend so much time trying to combine this 
properly, that it is probably not worth the effort.
You would save yourself a lot of time by using another host, installing your chosen 
versions of Apache and Perl on it, and then installing mod_perl from source, pointing it 
to the installed Apache and Perl.

Personal opinion, all of it. YMMV.
