Has anyone been able to get this arrangement to work ?

I have built my setup using 

apache 1.3.12
mod_perl-1.21
php-3.0.16

under redhat linux 5.2. Everything has been compiled from source, no rpms
involved at all.

Now when I startup the httpd with both modules (php and perl) Load and Add
Module'd 
in httpd.conf the parent starts but seems to hang; no children are spawned
and nothing
is logged under error_log either. If I comment out the Load/Add Module for
mod-perl it
starts up file:

[Wed Apr 19 13:48:34 2000] [notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.16
configured -- resuming normal operations 

Should i loose my hair over this or call it a day... any suggestions
welcome.
