that's a shame, Perl 5.005_56-ish worked fine as a dso under solaris.
mod_perl's Makefile.PL tries to suggest alternatives, you'll have to
choose one of these (ignoring #2) for the moment:

    if (($USE_DSO or $USE_APXS) and $] < 5.005_56 and 
	$^O eq 'solaris' and $Config{'usemymalloc'} eq 'y') 
      {
	  phat_warn(<<EOF);
Your current configuration will most likely trigger core dumps,
suggestions:
   *) Do not configure mod_perl as a DSO
   *) Upgrade your Perl version to 5.005_56 or higher
   *) Configure Perl with -Uusemymalloc
   *) Switch to an os other than $^O
