I think your going to be OK. 1.99.22 was when the API change occurred. The only real problem you could bump into would be that some other piece of software checks version the way RT is.

Would suggest that RT change the check to

$mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.99.22. That would cover your case and this bit of confusion.
