this tool that is an Apache module to prevent dos attack is a very good tool but I myself couldnt get any much benefit from that
seems it has alitle bug to prevent real dos attacks and as it has not been updated for so long
it can detect but can not prevent it efficiently that even in its perl test driven with this module for creating virtual ddos in you web server indicates that it can not really prevent those bad connections

but I thought that I may be wrong and created this instruction on How to Install Mod_Evasive on Apache Webserver
may be you make the most of this

How To INstall MOD_EVASIVE on CPanel Installed servers

I myself have modified this apache module to be able to send mail by what cpanel has its own config on each server

How to install MOD_EVASIVE on Other Servers
