That's it.

Recently we discovered another issue with mod_perl and starting to
recommend "SetHandler modperl" instead of "SetHandler perl-script".
Just change the latter to the following:

PerlOptions +GlobalRequest
SetHandler modperl

This will fix issue with timezones on mod_perl 2.x and as well protect
you from other bug. Note that this only works with forking MPM
(usually it's default setup). For threaded MPMs I suggest to use
FastCGI.

I suggest all people on mod_perl 2 to try it, it's sligtly faster as well.
