yes, I also had this or something similar. I got rid of it by doing as root:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

answering all questions for configuring CPAN once

install CPAN::Bundle
exit

then

perl -MCPAN -e shell

AGAIN answering all the questions, now persistent in the CPAN directories.

install mod_perl
exit

and after that:

perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl1 --install

worked correct.

Dirk.
