I have no idea about httpd or apache, but I can tell you that the
current (latest) release of PCRE is 8.34, with source available here:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.34.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.34.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.34.zip
If you are running a version less than 5.0 you are very out-of-date.
Even 5.0 is now almost 10 years old.
