Reconfiguring Apache with Perl

Recently I have the desire to reconfigure apache for mod_perl support. Unfortunately I already ran into problems when I last reconfigured apache to support the IMAP email protocol plugin. My problem is although I used the exact same configure statement as my previous one while adding the imap section, I somehow ended up with my apache bin and httpd.conf inside the www folder, whereas I had previously installed it in /usr/local/apache, leaving me with 2 apache directories, yet both apache installations still relied on only 1 httpd.conf in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. Wierd stuff.

My main question is, is there a simple way to reconfigure apache, or may I have simply mis-typed the location to install apache? If so, how do you "unconfigure" or uninstall something that was created using ./configure - make - make install as opposed to like an RPM file?

Thanks!

Which IMAP? IMAP in Apache refers to image map.

Extract the source and read the config.layout file and customize a layout. To use FreeBSD layout, you may specify --with-layout=FreeBSD. You need to have a consistent layout so Apache doesn't reside all over the places.
