Having libperl.so in /usr/lib/ is a great reason for lots of obscure problems, when you have one more perl installed elsewhere. That's why perl puts its libperl.so under its private tree. But some distros play it smart...
Yep that was the root of the problem. Apparently Debian has decided to keep it in /usr/lib. I'm afraid to move that one away for fear of making my system unstable. With Perl built to support dynamic linking, mod_perl installed fine and found the right libperl.so.
It's not the first time people get tripped over this problem. I ought to document it in
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html
The diagnostics is pretty easy, always use ldd on your httpd and check which libperl.so it resolves to if any. That's the key. The rest is easy.
