I'm no guru on the topic, but I found that when configuring the DSO with MySQL (--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql), it would always garble the PHP module. Eventually I got it all set up by not specifying a directory (in other words, just using "--with-mysql") in that configure argument. But this meant using PHP's internal MySQL abilities, which work fine but apparently aren't compatible with mod_perl. So I re-did everything, and it seems that the smoothest way to do it is to install PHP as a static module and use the original --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql (YMMV), but when compiling Apache be sure to --enable-so so that you still can load DSOs if you want.
Note, though, that I haven't tested or even installed mod_perl yet, so I can't verify the long-term success of this experiment. But PHP has been working fine with MySQL and Apache since then. Also make sure that you didn't just "cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib", you also have to rename it "php.ini" (but I'm sure you did that).
