IIRC, the SuSE 7.0 configuration for mod_perl is faulty. I don't remember
anymore what it was or how to fix it, but at that time it was fairly difficult
to understand the chain of includes and defines in SuSE's setup. We switched
to another distribution shortly afterwards (for reasons completely unrelated).

And, returning to RT from this topic, it's always better to compile apache
with mod_perl built in to avoid these errors.
