Some more info to reproduce it:
Manual mod_perl installation according to INSTALL file:
  cp -r src/modules/perl ../apache_1.3.28/src/modules
  perl Makefile.PL DYNAMIC=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_DEBUG=1
  make && make install

Apache configuration:
  Edit src/Configuration.tmpl:
    EXTRA_CFLAGS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts`
    EXTRA_LIBS=`perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`
  CFLAGS=-g ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a     --prefix=var/lib/ap
ache --sysconfdir=/home/www/conf     --datadir=/home/www --localstatedir=/home/www
  make && make install
Using the default httpd.conf, without any mod_perl entry

I have also tried to use the stock binary Perl 5.8.0 that comes with
Slackware 9.0. Same result.
