To my mind you do not yet have enough evidence to point to a particular part of the system. If your production system were not using Perl in any way I would suggest that you delete the entire Perl installation and rebuild it from scratch with 5.6.1. (Actually I prefer 5.7.2 but I hesitate to suggest it for production use even though it seems fine to me. :) If it were my machine that is what I would do, production or not, because you really need to be able to rely on your Perl installation and at the moment evidently you cannot. Of course there is a risk that something would break, so you might prefer to rename the old Perl installation rather than delete it. You should of course make sure that the same compiler which built Perl also built mod_perl, for preference also using the same C libraries. Have you tried to run Perl's own 'make test' suite? 73, Ged.
