Mod_perl runs a perl interpreter embedded in the httpd process. Thus
they must run under the same uid since it's the same process. If you
want to run under different uids, you must remove the httpd.conf
configuration that uses mod_perl and run it with the CGI interface. That
has the disadvantage of starting a new process for every page, but
normally you don't spend that much time in backuppc's web interface anyway.
As an alternative, you can run two instances of httpd on the same
machine if you make them listen on different ports or IP addresses. With
that approach you could run one instance that does nothing but backuppc
and execute as user backuppc while the other runs as apache.
