Finally I have mod_perl working.

For reference I will describe the changes I did so that some other poor 
soul might find help if he/she runs into the same trouble. (All of this 
is probably not necessary but I don't have time to isolate the crux of 
the problem.)

I did install a recent snapshot (right now cygwin-inst-20051114).

I downgraded to and rebuilt perl-5.8.6-4. Had to change:

(this is what I believe is the real fix since a "perl -V" showed 
"usemymalloc=y" with the existing build script and mod_perl does not 
like this, see INSTALL.apaci in the perl_mod tarball)

I rebuilt apache-1.33.3-2 using the included build script with the only 
difference that I installed in /usr/local/apache instead so as not to 
conflict with the distributed version. However I had to comment out
"ssize_t    _EXFUN(getline, (char **, size_t *, FILE *));"  in 
"/usr/include/sys/stdio.h" or apache would not build (apache has its own 
getline). Don't know if this a problem with the snapshot or with my 
installation.

I built mod_perl-1.29 following the steps in the post from Harald Joerg 
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg00128.html).
