Make sure Apache::Test is up to date.
Make sure httpd is in your PATH.
You need DBI installed before DBD will work.
One major prob with DBD I had was that I didn’t have the test user/pw that
the DBD wanted to use. I removed them for security purposes before DBD was
installed. Their are some configs you can set with the makefile like
-testuser and -testpassword. While running perl Makefile.PL the output will
show the names of the configs and what they are set too.
…Installing each dependency “by hand” will work better, since you should
be able to read through the error messages to see what’s not installed
properly. They’re not installing bc of a dependency of some sort…can be
frustrating 
I feel your pain.
BTW they have rpms for mysql 4.14 on mysql.com. Make sure you install all
of them, including devel and share…DBD needs some scripts from them.

server,client,share(dynamic client lib),devel (libraries and headers), and
you probably will need bench too

I did a fresh install of redhat 8, rpm downgraded from 1.99 to
mod_perl-1.26-5, and after the perl module CPAN installs dep install
command, I see this time there are more modules that errored out:
LWP::UserAgent …MISSING
Apache::Request …MISSING
WWW::Mechanize …MISSING
MYSQL dependencies:
DBD::mysql 2.1018…MISSING
DBD::mysql version 2.1018 required–this is only version 2.1017
at (eval 159) line 2.
When I tried to run them by hand (i.e. perl -MCPAN -e ‘install foo::bar’),
they all gave some sort of error msg.
Also, I put mysql at mysql-3.23.52-3, and didn’t upgrade to 4.x, which would
require compiling from source (trying to stay with rpms)
Any one write a doc on a config setup that works?
Any other ideas?

1.99 is considered perl mod 2 ?

you need to install apache::test before libapreq will install. It is a
prequisite for apache::request (libaprereq). Use cpan
perl -MCPAN -eshell
install Apache::Test
perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl1
use should use: perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl2
for mod perl 2
note it seems a lot of people are having trouble with the modperl 1.99 so
you should think about using apache 1.3x and mod perl 1x or you’ll prob have
a lot of trouble Also red hat 9 had some issues too. (FYI)
