Hi,

IRT Scalar::Util, the version installed is 1.14, current with current 
available versions from CPAN.  CPAN also further reported the module to be 
up to date.

OK... This may be something, seeing that the error only appeared after I 
upgraded (manually) to perl 5.8.5.  Perhaps, I'll give the port version of 
perl 5.8.5 a try again to make sure perl is compiled with the propper 
options.  Is there a quick way to see whether WEAKREF is in fact left out of 
the perl compilation?

Yep, again, I should try running via FastCGI as well...  I did recompile 
mod_perl a couple of times after upgrading to 5.8.5.  Just to proove myself, 
I recompiled mod_perl again now, with the same effects....
