This is a problem with the most recent mod_perl.  I have solved this 
with a hack provided by another list member:

require Apache::RequestUtil;
no warnings 'redefine';
my $sub = *Apache::request{CODE};
*Apache::request = sub {
    my $r;
    eval { $r = $sub->('Apache'); };
    # warn $@ if $@;
    return $r;
};

Place that block in webmux.pl right after the BEGIN block.

Ugly,  I hope I can eventually remove it, but it works for now.
