[rt-users] Upgrade from RT 3.8.4 to 3.8.6 Required Newer Mod_Perl 1.x under Apache 1.3.41

[Foggi, Nicola]

Steps for the upgrade were:

- Compile RT 3.8.6 and install to new directory
- Run Upgrade on DB
- Install RTFM into new directory (was previously on 3.8.4) RTFM complained about ExtUtils::MakeMaker when i re-made it (it might of before and i didn't notice) so i updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker and then installed it
- Restarted Apache after pointing to new RT install directory
- Got Error as seen below
- Updated a TON of perl modules to see if that did it (the all passed the dep tests, but figured it was worth a shot)
- Restarted apache, still same error
- recompiled apache against new mod_per
- restarted apache and now it works

That should not have happened.  Did you upgrade _anything_ else at the
same time?  3.8.4 to 3.8.6 should not have broken any API compatibility.
