the problem is likely that the dynamic linker cannot find a shared library
that was linked against modperl's libperl.so.  you can find out by using
bsdi's equivalent of strace or truss (to trace system calls) and look for
failed calls of open() for .so files.

Back when I was using BSDI, I made sure mod_perl built and ran fine
on it (4.0, 4.1).  You can check the source code for BSDI-specific
twiddles, which were put there by me ;-)

Anyhow, I only ever tested it with a standard build as a DSO.  I never
built via apxs.  Currently I use FreeBSD, so I can't help debug this
one for ya.
