Strawberry Perl [0] is a Perl distribution "designed to be as close as
possible to perl environment on UNIX systems". I assume it would run
mod_perl.

As for installation instructions, the document you linked in the first
article includes them --- see the 'Building from sources section' [1]. I
do not know if they are accurate / updated, but you can try them. These
should work on any Perl distribution, including ActivePerl and
Strawberry Perl.

You may also look at Perl distributions that include mod_perl. For
example, IndigoPerl comes with mod_perl preinstalled. Unfortunately,
it's an ancient version of Perl (5.10). If you can live with that, it
might be the easiest way to install mod_perl. There may be other
distributions with mod_perl preinstalled.
