I tried it and made some progress but am not there yet...

Here is what I did (everything within a clean Windows 7 32 bit VM with 
VC9, both with SP1 and all updates installed):
1. Compile perl 5.20.1
2. add APXS to Apache 2.2.29 (tried both self compiled and Apache Lounge 
VC9 binary)
3. Compile and install mod_perl with/to the perl from step 1.
4. Start Apache with mod_perl -> works

but from there on I got into problems...

5. extract a fresh Strawberry Perl 5.20.1 32-bit portable
6. copy everything relevant(?) according to the file list of Steve's 
5.16.3 32-bit package from the self-compiled Perl to the Strawberry tree.
7. change PATH to point to Strawberry perl
8. Start Apache with mod_perl -> crashes

Now I have a somewhat working mod_perl but cannot use it in my 
environment (and there are good reasons to use Stawberry).

Please, can you give a detailed recipe, especially with the steps 
necessary to transfer the compiled mod_perl stuff to Strawberry?

Of course, I will make the result available, once it is working and I 
can do the same for 5.18 as requested by André.
