Ah, my new perl is where my old perl was (/usr/local/bin/perl), but the 
vendor perl (5.8.0) is still in /usr/bin/perl.  I tried your 
suggestions, but the result was the same.  Then I moved /usr/bin/perl 
and created a link there to /usr/local/bin/perl and retried everything 
-- same bad result.

I looked at where the test code was failing, and I saw that 
Apache::Request was being used, so I figured libapreq might need 
updating.

I attempted to do that right now, but its tests failed also (it doesn't 
like being tested with old apache or with newer apache with libapreq 
compiled in).  I forced it to install just to see what would happen, 
but mod_perl is still failing its test.

Arghh.

Thanks for the suggestions.
