Thanks for the follow-up, Erkin; that is very helpful!

Two additional tips:

To use apxs you will need to install httpd24-devel as noted in https://stackoverflow.com/a/37528944/1776044.
This helpful comment suggests a modification to the test script for mod_evasive (test.pl) in case it returns all HTTP 400s:
line 13:print $SOCKET "GET /?$_ HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: 127.0.0.1\r\n\r\n";
