I believe that the install process does not test for the presence (or
lack of..) of the <apache_server_root>/modules directory.

This causes a problem during the mod_perl installation as the
pseudo-command "cp $SOURCE/mod_perl.so $SERVER/modules" creates a large
file called "modules", not a file called "mod_perl.so" within a
directory called "modules"

[...]

Indeed, it doesn't. Thanks for the report.

Does the following patch solve the problem? I'm not quite sure how portable it is, but neither ExtUtils::MakeMaker nor %Config provide entries for test_d and mkdir.
