To use it, that might depend on the modules itself.

Rather than trying to mess with an existing RPM, I'd suggest you build from
source. When you run mod_perl's Makefile.PL, run it with the perl binary
you want to build against.

Better off using the path to locate perl:

#!/bin/env perl

will do this on linux (env may be "/usr/bin/env" on BSD, Solaris).

One advantage is that this allows you to install a test version of
perl in, say, /opt/perl/5.24 then update your path to include that
directory for testing.
