perl: http://cobalt.depopo.net/html/q3_perl5_8.html
tested on Qube, RAQ550, should work with all RAQ models

apache, without php:  http://cobalt.depopo.net/html/q3_apache_1_3_28.html
written for a Qube3, i suppose it will not work on a raq because you will
have to manualy port over ALL vsite settings, AND will have to relocate the
configs so the admin interface will put it's modifications at the correct
spot. Didn't see a machine type in your post, so perhaps you are on a Qube
and it may be of some use.

As far as apache/php/mysql is concerned, it is probaly a lot easyer to use
standard packages like found on

or
