If you do not have apxs, then you must have the Apache 2 source tree in
order to install mod_perl 2. Please read fully the install instructions
in either the mod_perl source tree or perl.apache.org. You can not
simply run perl Makefile.pl to make mod_perl.

It is asking for the Apache source tree.

And ap_release.h is in the Apache source tree. Again, this is all
documented in the installation documentation. If you don't read it
carefully and understand it, you will have a difficult time installing
mod_perl.
