I got the tarball of 4.8.6 installed on a Slack 8.1(.01) box without any 
trouble. It went out and downloaded all the perl modules and whatnot, 
which took awhile. But once it finished all was well.

I didn't use the stock apache... I used a custom compiled apache/openssl 
which I did with apachetoolbox. You'll want to update the apache from 
Slack 8.1 anyway (unless you have Slack 8.1.01, which includes apache 
1.3.26) and openssl 'cuz of the recent problems.

Try rolling your own apache/openssl. Use removepkg to yank apache and 
openssl first of course. With apachetoolbox, building a custom apache is 
truly trivial.
