I rebuilt an apache last week with this exact combo, except that I was using
perl 5.8.3, and it all worked fine (all kinds of pain then adding php to the 
mix, but that's another story). What args are you using on the mod_perl and
apache builds?

1.3.6 still seems fine to me - only gotcha I've had so far is file uploads
not working with the latest versions of CGI, which is fixed in 2.0, but 
hasn't been backported.
