Can you please run:

t/TEST -v apr/perlio

and also send the errors from t/logs/error_log.

without a detailed report we cannot know what the problem is.

Also in the future please use t/REPORT script to report problems, as
explained here:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/help/help.html#Reporting_Problems

this method is defined in Apache::compat. What happens if you add

PerlModule Apache::compat

in httpd.conf. The latest CGI.pm (2.89?) loads this module automatically:

if ($mod_perl::VERSION >= 1.99) {
require Apache::compat;
} else {
require Apache;
}

If this still doesn't help, can you please post a *short* CGI script
that reproduces the problem?
