All of the directory paths that you mention here can be put into
Apache's config-layout file at the root of the source tree. I find that
adding these here and using --with-layout instead a much easier way to
remember settings and it's nice to minimize the chance for fat-fingering
the configure script.

It's been a long time since I did a mod_perl in DSO, I build it in
statically when I use it, is there a need to do an --add-module option
for libperl.a still or did that go away?

The --server-uid, gid and max can all be set/reset in httpd.conf if you
don't care to add it to the configuration at compile time.
