i encountered this on debian testing dist.  if you are running debian
unstable of testing, try this (it worked for me): 

1. have this line in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
   deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
2. `apt-get update`
3. `apt-get source -b libapache-mod-perl`
4. `dpkg -i (the deb the above line generates)`

i'm not sure if debian's perl modules strategy is really broken (as
opinioned in sec9.1 of rt's install doc), or if it is just due to the
fact that the testing dist is just a time-delayed unstable (ie- no
rigorous release testing), and perl module versions/dependancies can
get out-of-sync.  my 2c.
