I looked and I had files all over the place in my perl library tree, in Apache, libapreq, Apache/Cookie, Apache/Request, Apache/libapreq etc etc I reckon I had several versions in parallel and Dynaloader mixed and matched as it pleased. So I deleted all those Cookie.pm, Cookie.so, Request.pm, Request.so etc. etc. and reinstalled libapreq 1.0 My server works again so the panic is gone. The question remains: what did i naively do wrong the first time? Thanks
